[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 63459, member: 2152"] Hard to put a positive spin on this one. "New" areas is not an extension of existing areas, but existing areas (yes national parks only at this point) is now going to pans and handtools, and detectors. This sort of proposal is how it starts. Anyway I'm upset because i currently go into two national parks which have areas to prospect in, and i do have other options if i want to use a banker or sluice or trommel, but here's what i am concerned about. If in the review they find that these areas are better off without the equipment being used in there (call it less impact) its a slippery slope for other areas that are not National parks. I for one think a few group outings during the review time with some publicly reported summaries might just get the attention it needs, if we all let this pass quietly and leave the areas well I'd say they would consider widening the restrictions.
