[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 434728, member: 68"] well you gota have 5k now just for the lease and depending on where you are digging the bond is between 2 and 10k so in total 15k to start then you need machinery to actually mine after you have jumped threw all the other hoops and paid for your lease plus bond so your looking at about 25k or more the average guy can't afford unless you find nuggets everyday that weight an 1 ounce or more its not worth doing. I can vouch for this as I tried looking into it but just to have a claim and dig by hand it would have still cost me 5k plus bond but because I wouldn't be using machinery on the land or blowing rock up my bond would be around the 1 to 3k mark depending on where I am and what sort of mining I do but that is still a lot just for the average person.
