[QUOTE="Big Johno, post: 582965, member: 16872"] Good luck taking that advice. About 12 months ago I knew of a spot on private property in SA mid north and went to the dept of mines to peg a claim for 12 months do do some detecting and light digging etc. They give me those forms and a lot more, along with the costs and time frames associated with the application . Bottom line was approx $12,000. in costs and that doesn't include the bond required after they do a site inspection to determine the environmental impact and formulate a rehabilitation plan that gets your bond back. The time frame discussed was 12 to 24 months and subject native cultural site inspections etc. Get the picture ! not what someone wants to go through to have some fun with their hobby. Easier to spend our tourist dollars in Vic And WA. Likely our SA tourist commission probably doesn't even know how many crow eaters holiday interstate to enjoy their hobby. Have fun trying, I didn't cheers johno [/QUOTE]
