$400 hundred is a bit rich tho
How far away from the fossicking area were you mate?
How much are you allowed to take in QLD?
Were you outside the fossicking area but still in
the Forrest?
Here in NSW we can remove 10kg
Not sure what the fine would be
if you got caught with more
$400 big ones sounds a bit steep
Maybe you just can't see the decimal point :8

Here's the story..
My dog is my life guide, if he can't come I don't go...
First mistake was breaking the rules and l leaving him at a mates place to go for a recon/sample mission.
I was on my way back from where I went (with 10 litres of sample dirt in the back) and ahead I could see vehicles coming along the track. Where I was stopped was an intersection.
A few vehicles went past but to my left down the road I could see a vehicle. So I thought I might go see if it's another prospector and h ave a yarn..
As I got to it I realised it was the rangers, they were stopped there because they were going through another prospector that was parked there just in the bush (In the fossicking area).
When they asked.."Where did this dirt come from" in a bucket in the back of my vehicle, I was honest and said at a gully crossing a couple of k's away.
Didn't think it was a big issue..

Guess that's the law ..... do the crime, pay the fine.
We're lawed to death down here in Victoria .... mostly covid related unfortunately.
Wish we could even get to a situation where such a fine was possible to get, can't even get out to be fined.

If your permit had been current would you been ok?
It's hard to learn by your mistakes......might strike a big one when you have a valid license.

Thats how the fine reads, whilst unauthorised
Bit like driving unlicensed and being upset when you get caught Id reckon.

Sorry no empathy here. :/
You had no permit, you got caught?
I don't see an issue with the system or the fine.
I do see an issue with people that think they don't need to comply like the rest of Qld fossickers do.
Next time get the proper permit like anyone else is supposed to.
$53.10 seems cheap now.

I told them.. If there is colour in this bucket I will pay for permit. That said I have to tip it out, so while they wrote me up I tipped it out on the fossicking area side of t he road and ran the gm over it..
