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 need permission (like from the local council) to do the activity?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just can't find much on beaches themselves.
