[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 13788, member: 378"] Hi Crows, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Probably another "grey area" technicality ruling that is becoming all too common today. We have a similar ruling here with opal fossicking. You can only take so much per day etc. But it's never been questioned as far as I know? -Even though there's been some very good, big dollar finds by people fossicking here over the years that far exceed those rulings in every manner possible. If you were challenged then the 'maybes' come into play also when it comes to your gold: Maybe it's been in your family for generations (before the rulings were even made). Maybe you found it in another state or country (though it can be chemically traced at times). Maybe it was given to you as a gift. etc. etc. Who would police that in reality? Worse comes to worse you could always have it refined into a 5g ingot of 9999 Bullion. :D Personally, I'll always do as I please with my gold finds as I've done the work by hand following the prospecting laws and sought it in a legal manner. I'm certain those sentiments are shared by most forum members. Kindest regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
