[QUOTE="Hurg, post: 64633, member: 2662"] Hey Been interested in the idea of prospecting for a while now down here in Tas. Had a couple of questions regarding the rules and regulations. The TAS MRT site states: Only hand prospecting for material is allowed and only hand-held tools may be used. The use of mechanical machinery or any explosives is prohibited. The use of sluices and trommels and motorised pumps is not permitted. The licence will be withdrawn from any person breaching this condition. Does this apply to private property? Say I was a landowner, Am I still restricted to panning on my own property and would I still need a license for this? Also, I was thinking of building a portable river-fed sluice box, wouldn't that be considered a handtool? Seems pretty restrictive. I was pretty keen for the idea of going out and doing some prospecting but after reading these regulations I'm not so sure. [/QUOTE]
