[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 58563, member: 1695"] Jupiter Creek and Chapel Hill at Echunga are free to detect at (only Mt Crawford attracts a fee). Mt Crawford is the most open and largest area to detect at, whereas the othe two areas have very dense scrub and many dangerous open shafts (see my repsonse in "Members Introduction"). If at Mount Crawford, try and have a detect away from Watts Gully, as every man and his dog goes there, plus lots of rubbish - there are many other gullies worth detecting. It is also worth trying to source a decent map from the mine dept on the Mt Crawford diggings, as what the Forrestry dept supplies is pretty basic. Many areas also have locked gates, so be prepared to walk to any areas of interest, or try and work your way through the various roads and tracks from the front entrance, closest to the forrestry headquarters where you grab your permit from. You can get the permit from the front office if there early enough in the morning , if closed, there is a box containing the permits, pens and envelopes for the small daily fee. :) [/QUOTE]
