[QUOTE="Matt80, post: 428086, member: 3461"] Your talking about things that require either a mining licence or a prospecting permit, these are both very different to a fossicking licence or miners right. If your using heavy equipment your mining not fossicking. If they changed the department coving the activities that are more hobby oriented then of course some of the legislation would have to change, but given how poorly the mining departments have handled people at our end of the mining scale it would seem hard to make things much worse. Most fossickers never find enough gold to pay for their equipment so it's definitely a hobby for most. [/QUOTE]
