[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 471250, member: 4485"] Some gold is associated with quartz but not all quartz is associated with gold. 1. Most agreements are handshake agreements & whatever terms are discussed between the parties. Different people have different ideas on whats fair or not. Some say 10-20% to landowner, some 50/50, some prefer to pay for access (say $50/day) & keep any finds. 2. Morally he probably should let you continue but is under no obligation to do so & can stop access whenever he wishes. I know of cases where people have found gold on properties & shown the landowner where/how then been refused further access. Mostly landowners think we're mad & there are better ways to make money off the land. 3. Probably not to be honest unless there were large, shallow nuggets there. Maybe get a gold pan & test any creeks & gullies first? 4. Use a state provided service like Geovic (Victoria), Minview (NSW), + research Trove etc. [/QUOTE]
