[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 512231, member: 12692"] Eveos, in WA gold hunting in a river by any method other than a detector is near impossible, as the laws & rules around protecting our few (mostly seasonal) rivers are complex, & governed by a couple of government departments, making it a complex issue. ie; Dept of Mines, Industry Regulation & Safety (DMIRS) Dept of Water & Environmental Regulation Water Corporation & when in National Parks, there is some jurisdiction in the Dept of Parks & Wildlife (DPaW) I assume you are aware you need a 'Miners Right' before you do anything. You should be aware that you cannot prospect by any means in a National Park or Conservation Reserve. You can only prospect in a State Forest if you have a Prospecting Lease or Mining Lease on an area. If there is an Exploration Licence over an area of farmland (or any area), you still need to get a 40E permit from the DMIRS Not all the rules are easy to find, or don't exist on the DMIRS website, so its a good idea to go into one of their offices & have a talk to the people there, to get a better understanding of where you can go & what you can do.
