[QUOTE="gopher, post: 128359, member: 4147"] The State Forests permit is good stuff, get one! We got ours a few months ago because we found an old ruin marked on a State Forests map. Phoned 'em up and they explained the simple online permit system. Armed with our bit of paper we were off. Found the ruins and some great old finds, coins etc. In more than 30 years of detecting I've hardly ever seen any 'official' presence anywhere, so imagine my surprise when the official 4WD came slowly down the track. "G'day, mate. Got a permit?" "Sure." He glanced at it then said, " Great, enjoy yourselves." He also told us about another ruin a short distance away not on the map. Now, I could have risked it on that day, but the encounter with a ranger might have been less pleasant and more expensive. If any government authority wants you to have a permit, just get it and leave it in the car. You might only use it a couple of times a year, but at least you have it. It's a few dollars but the peace of mind is worth a lot more than the money. Wal. [/QUOTE]
