[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 451465, member: 8209"] So, I've tried to do a bit of research and have got some answers. Have emailed and online messaged Chris at Vogus Prospecting but haven't been able to get a response from him. Probably busy digging rings and coins ;) Left a message for a bloke called Darren but he hasn't returned my call - he was looking at setting up a Beechworth Prospecting group so I thought he may have some answers. Called Indigo Shire and spoke to Robert who advised that there are no laws referencing anything about detecting other than needing a Miners Right for prospecting. He advised that on that basis one is allowed to treasure/coin hunt in the Indigo Shire public areas (and I specifically mentioned playgrounds, parks, etc) as long as one was mindful of watering systems in place and were diligent in replacing turf and leaving 'no trace' as best as possible. I hope that helps you Roy. I am guessing your time line is still the same but I may now be a little held up with a medical appt for the good lady. A bee sting and a coffee might still be possible though ;) [/QUOTE]
