[QUOTE="EternalChase, post: 55949, member: 1754"] Fellow Prospectors, As a member of the PMAV I cannot REAFFIRM strong enough what Ron is reporting and warning ALL prospectors. The Association spends a significant amount of time supporting the fight for additional areas to be opened up for us. I spend a bit of time out in the field with Ron, and we both have the utmost respect for the territories we enter and take care leaving the areas as we found them. It is unfortunate that we come across detecting holes that remain unfilled, as well as see high banking in rivers where large holes are not back filled. Tall piles of discarded rock and muddy puddles where they originated will only fuel Govt. Departments to decline any recommendations put forward to open new areas. It will also load the barrels of green inclined groups and Govt. Officials alike to further restrict the types of equipment we are allowed to use. PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE ACCESS RIGHTS TO CREEKS, RIVERS AND LAND AREAS BEFORE YOU DO SO. PLEASE BACK FILL HOLES AND ENSURE THE AREA IS IN AS CLOSE TO ORIGINAL APPEARANCE AS WHEN YOU FOUND IT. Let's try and work with these agencies, to enable our hobby to live on and give prospectors a respectable name and good reputation in the wider community. It's an important part of our Australian history, and would be nice to pass on to generations to follow. Stay informed, stay alert, stay safe out there and leave some gold for the rest of us to find :) Mark [/QUOTE]
