[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 209080, member: 147"] Owen and Jenny who own the land up and downstream from the bridge have asked me to make it public that there's a total fire ban at the moment, and they "DON'T" want any camp fires on or near their property. Last night there was again a campfire lit, even though there was fire ban notices posted. With it being a forecast of a hot summer, they prefer no fires at all even if there is not a fire ban. Owen is kind enough to let folk prospect the creek for Sapphires so adhering to his wishes of no fires is the least that a "genuine" fossicker can do. After a lengthy chat with Owen, conversation came up that numerous prospectors out there mentioned that they new myself and Liz and could he direct them to the locations we dig out there. Name dropping is something I "detest" in my book, and if you don't know me of Liz "personally" using us as an opportunistic way of getting onto a property will backfire on you in a big way when we find out who you are. :mad: I've asked Owen to take down names and car regos of supposed "name droppers", and rest assured I will make them public if this activity continues. Enjoy your prospecting out there and treat the place like your own backyard, or you will be responsible for yet another location being closed for the guys going out of their way to do the right thing by our hobby.
