[QUOTE="madtuna, post: 512289, member: 44"] Yep it is "better" if it is private land or under lease that you contact the land owner or lease holder, because if you don't that makes you a poacher (thief) and a trespasser. Pans are not useless things, well not to me. I use one most days and find it an essential part of my tool kit, though you'd be hard pressed to find water in any WA creek worth looking for gold in. All countries have rules we have to abide by, I'm sure France does to. Without them it would be chaos. If you don't like our rule I can highly recommend Qantas. Good food, comfy seats with a telly on the back and hot stewardesses. What can happen if you choose to disobey the rules? There was a French fellow here about 2 months ago prospecting where ever the hell he saw fit. When told he was on a private lease his exact words were "what can they do to me, nothing I am from France" Followed by laughter. They took his detector off him, that what they did to him. [/QUOTE]
