[QUOTE="Keen Ken, post: 598591, member: 211"] I'm a mine owner, it makes me see red when I read some of the drivel in these type of posts. Stick to the gazetted fossicking areas. Don't go anywhere near current leases or claims. You definitely need a [b]fossicking licence signed by the property owner to fossick elsewhere,[/b] this does not give you permission to venture onto current leases or claims. Don't go cutting up the roads after rain. If you "happen" to pass a lease or claim and think you see an opal, leave it alone, it belongs to the lease/claim owner, they just haven't picked it up yet. it might just be that piece might pay his next food bill. Don't get stuck in a bog, it could be days until someone comes your way. Property owners take a very dim view of people who "just stop to have a look". With Bio-security regulations you are required to wash down your vehicle before entering a property to prevent the spread of noxious weeds and diseases. It's us miners who cop it when gates [b]are not[/b] left as they are found or reported to the graziers. You can't just do as you please in the bush. [/QUOTE]
