Ballarat Council and detecting in Lake Wendoree Park

[Swinging & digging]

Anyone see the media article?
There is a photo of two dectorists and a long handled shovel?

Sounds like trouble brewing.

I see this on FB detecting groups all the time with newbies and there are a hell of a lot of them, very little info on doing it correctly, seems like a free for all.

Problem with facebook is it's not setup like a proper forum and most of the members just watch the posts roll on with very little good info, just pictures of finds really. .

I wonder if any Councils within Victoria actually allow detecting in Parks?
With the current popularity of prospecting plus cheap coin detectors activity will increase.
People making a mess of lawned areas will ensure councils prohibit and enforce banning of detecting.
