[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 625692, member: 16174"] Umm If you have got your fossickers licence and have read the paperwork with it then you should already be pretty clear.... In QLD you can only legally prospect for gold on[u] private[/u] property if you have the landholders permission & even that isnt enough if there is a mining lease over the property. You can only legally prospect for gold in [u]public[/u] areas in the designated GPAs - General Prospecting Areas [url]https://www.qld.gov.au/recreation/activities/areas-facilities/fossicking/rules/designated-areas[/url] Looking for necklaces & coins on the beach isnt considered propecting but is controlled by local councils so you need to chat with whoever manages the beach - or just try it & see it anyone official says anything. Looking for coins etc in parks, ovals, school ground etc is also subject to the owner/managers permission. If that seems very restrictive it is because sadly it is :( [/QUOTE]
