Which state are you asking about and what sort of reserve.Can anyone tell me if you are allowed to detect in Bushland reserves.
Yes have pdf maps, but doesn’t cover the area I was looking., then wasn’t sure as to who to contact, whether it was like a council thing or a parks thing. Thanks for the info though, much appreciated, points m3 in a better direction.Do your homework
There are 3 primary "bush areas" in VIC - State Forest (in which you can detect pretty well anywhere).
State Parks and National Parks are the other 2. In these certain areas of certain parks have areas where detecting is allowed. You need to go on to Parks Web VIC, download their PDF maps and check which those areas are. There are also other designations such as Historical and Conservation Parks along with other "Bush Areas".
Best thing to do is check with either someone like Coiltek Gold Centre, Maryborough, Miners Den Bendigo or other detector shops when in area. Or, visit a Parks VIC office. Don't forget your Miners Rights to detect.
There are Nature Conservation Reserves and there are Bushland Reserves. Neither are completely locked up.They are called NATURE CONSERVATION RESERVES . These reserves contain gold bearing gullies in the GT and are crucial hot the prospector. We might all have to become night owls.
