[QUOTE="Woody, post: 676940, member: 25628"] Hi mate, as a beginner i'm not too edumacated yet on this myself. But, as I see it the public areas are for those that don't possess a fossicking permit. So every man and his dog can go there. If you have a permit you much more freedom to explore the lesser worked over areas, or even venture out and find a new spot. There are so many rules and red tape though. If I was thinking of an area you are not sure about I would drop a thread in here and get some advice. Definitely don't want to get busted fossicking a spot you shouldn't. For your sake and all the people that are doing the right thing. If you haven't found it already, you can get the fossicking permit here... [URL]https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-for-a-permit-to-fossick-in-a-nsw-state-forest[/URL] Cheap as chips! We are looking for some places that are a round day trip from Sydney. Will drop a thread here later of that topic. Justin & Mary... [/QUOTE]
