[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 52780, member: 784"] Should be defined in the government guidelines for fossicking, I know that up here in QLD its 0.5m deep within a stream/ river bed and 2m deep on solid ground. Undermining and tunnelling into river banks are prohibited. Doesnt mention hole diameters, however since the activity is technically small scale mining I think the implied feeling is that while a 2m round hole is easily avoidable and can be effectively back-filled a 2m deep 5m long trench would be harder to avoid and have a greater impact on a river ecosystem.
