fossicking

Hi Folks, I note that a Google search mentions that Warakurna is in the goldfields region and I'm wondering if there is anywhere in this district where you can detect? A quick search of PA shows up nothing? Brian

I am looking for a lightweight backpack wide enough for large Minelab gold pan plus 2 classifying sieves. Most are too narrow. Any recommendations pls.

Hello All, I'm new here having just been on my first fossicking trip with my 9yo to the Queensland Gemfields. We have come home with a number of sapphires and zircons although most of them are small. The ones that aren't tiny have a lot of inclusions and are better suited to polishing. We were...

I'm quite new to this fossicking stuff in general (I got my QLD fossicking license quite recently). I want to do fossicking (with a hand-shovel and metal detector) on a beach. However, I'm unsure as to whether or not I am allowed to on all beaches, some beaches or none at all and if I am, do I...

Am I right that I need a miners right to fossick for gold in rocks (no digging) on land I own? The only licence I see is for a fee of $24 for two weeks. Surely there is an annual licence?
