[QUOTE="gcause, post: 66366, member: 1497"] Well said Wal. It's disgusting to go into a pristine bush area and come across a scene like that. I was out in Warwick checking out an old mine site and someone had filled the deep mine shaft full of rubbish. Another time I was out in the bush and came across a mountain of rubbish someone had obviously been dumping it there over a long period. The councils are partially to blame for this as they started charging a fee to dump rubbish and it was only after that we noticed more and more dump sites happening in the bush. We abide by the prospectors code and take all our rubbish with us including all the junk we detect. This behaviour is on about the same level as those who don't backfill their detecting holes it's just plain disgusting and ruins it for the rest of us who have to clean up after them and pick up their rubbish and backfill their holes. I can tell you what I want to drop down a deep mine shaft and it ain't the rubbish. :mad: [/QUOTE]
