[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 284439, member: 4485"] Metal detecting is permitted in most State Forests, many Reserves & private property with landholder's consent. For beaches & parks etc. you could play it by ear or enquire with the local council. If land is under an Exploration Lease in Victoria you can still detect there without the leaseholders permission as long as you can legally access the land otherwise i.e. public land, private property permission etc. All other Mining Leases require the permission of the leaseholder. Here's some info that might help: [url]http://earthresources.vic.gov.au/earth-resources-regulation/recreational-prospecting-and-fossicking/land-access-rules?SQ_DESIGN_NAME=mobile&SQ_ACTION=set_design_name[/url] [url]http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/visit/popular-activities/fossicking[/url] Also might be worth joining up with a local metal detecting club & nearest branch of PMAV [url]http://www.pmav.org.au/[/url] [/QUOTE]
