[QUOTE="loamer, post: 37989, member: 981"] Good question - the short answer is no, unless you mean state parks (forests and the like) then yes. Here are the DPI's FAQ's 1. What is a Miners Right? A Miners Right is a permit to prospect for minerals on unreserved Crown land or private land where the permission of the landowner has been granted. 2. What is prospecting/fossicking? Prospecting involves the use of metal detectors, hand tools, pans or simple sluices in the search for gold and gemstones. 3. Why is a Miners Right required to prospect for minerals? All minerals belong to the Crown, even on private land. A Miners Right transfers the ownership of any minerals found whilst prospecting, to the holder of the Miners Right. 4. Who needs a Miners Right? Anyone searching for minerals needs to have an exploration licence, a mining licence, a prospecting licence, a retention licence or a Miners Right. 5. Does that mean that a Miners Right is required even if you are fossicking on your own land? Yes. [/QUOTE]
