Found at Jupiter Creek in Sep last year, but very very rare and, yes S. Oz not Africa, lol
Old mate on the weekend prospector pulled up a nice piece on national telly season one. Swear it was Jupiter creek and he was off to the gold buyer. .Citizens arrest timecairnspom said:condor22 said:Similar in as S.A. in one way. Here's it's not called prospecting, but fossicking. The simple rule here is, if you find gold, you can keep it for its intrinsic value. However, you can't sell it as it's still owned by the "Crown"
Ridiculous, I detect in VIC, have miners rights, who in there wildest dreams wouldn't just go over the border and sell it there. Once it's melted down and refined gold is gold.
If you found over 50gr in 48 hours in N.S.W., I'd like to meet the inspector that will be hovering over your shoulder to check his watch, lol
Its why no-one has ever found gold in S.A.!

This line reads that you can pick up 5 nuggets weighing over 10 grams, I can see this getting reworded, this effectively overrides the 50 gram limit.
A person could find 5x 10kg nuggets in one 48hr period. erfect:

No. These are the rules for all of NSW where there is no licence/miners right required. They apply to everyone.Gem in I said:So these rules apply only IF you hold a license hhhmmm. :/ Interesting
