[QUOTE="RottenRon, post: 56077, member: 174"] Hi G0lddigg@. Point taken about the "open forum", but that's where the majority of prospectors get their info from. If a point needs to be made to prospectors in general, then it could be argued as best and most responsible thing to do, as apposed to saying nothing for fear our detractors get some ammo. I'm not sorry I've said my piece, and thought I chose my words fairly well, considering what I really wanted to say. Please also note, I never made any reference to which of the 8 new area recommendations I was referring to. I suspect the point you make about the "Green" lines in map 1 to be incorrect. If they were green, why then is there not the corresponding green line symbol in the legend? I realize map 2 seems to be a lot clearer as they are very obviously black, but I also think variations in the maps colour may account for that. Having said that though, that raises the issue that these maps are still "recommendations" and therefore those areas indicated, may not yet be Heritage. So one could easily assume those areas to be state forest (light Green) and therefore available to prospect. What a can of worms. So everyone knows, for the record. I Pm'd the guy I spoke about in my earlier post and it appears I may have jumped the gun a bit. This guy apparently only made an existing hole he found a bit deeper. His advise to me was that he attempted to fill it in with what was available. I did apologize to him, stating I just had a bee in my bonnet about media comments and the possible outcomes of the recommendations. The fact remains however, the hole that remained was still a mess. I don't know about anyone else, but I've just spent a motza on my hi-banker, sluices and pump. I'd really hate to have to put it all away, never mind the potential loss of a great hobby. My point still remains however, keep cleaning up after yourselves people. Cheers,Ron. PS, Wouldn't it be great if the Vic. Government was to publish detailed maps of all the allowable prospecting areas. I'd have no problem buying them if they were accurate and easy to read. One could argue that if the Gov were to attempt prosecute/penalize someone for being in the wrong area, the fact that they haven't made a fair and reasonable attempt to provide decent information, would see those charges thrown out.
