[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 457746, member: 7956"] Getting access to private property is gold in itself. Don't be cheap with your offer. I would ask them what cut they want, if they seem unsure, offer 50% and a bottle of wine/slab of beer. Don't forget you will be on private land where you can relax, come back to the same spot untouched, no one else setting up next to you, no one to worry about stealing your stuff. Seriously I never go home with bugger all. (prob due to many cans being had), but if you get a gram in a day then that's really only worth $50. If you look at it from an hourly rate, it's slave wages, so you are not doing it for the money. Build up a friendship with the landowner and you may find they let you camp there and maybe even go shooting (if desired) when you build up some trust. I had that situation many moons ago, but the farm changed hands. That is a very good opportunity you have there. And don't mess the area up, make it look like you weren't there when you are finished.
