[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 608782, member: 4105"] To: Mineral Hub Subject: Fossicking in QLD Hi Team, Ive had this fella state that he can legally fossick for Gold using hand tools and then take the material home to put it through his motorised sluice. He states that nothing in the fossicking act pertains to what you do with the material after you have collected it. Therefore is legal for him to do this? Can you comment? Regards, Simon Good Morning, Please see link below for fossicking rules and responsibilities. Permitted activities and materials | Recreation, sport and arts | Queensland Government ([url=http://www.qld.gov.au]www.qld.gov.au[/url]) You can collect Gemstones and Mineral Specimens to keep. You cannot take materials (dirt) off site for processing through any type of highbanker. You are not permitted to use any machinery with a fossicking licence, This includes water sluices with electronic pumps and dredges of any kind. If you need further information please visit section 38 of the fossicking act 1994. Link below. Fossicking Act 1994 (legislation.qld.gov.au) Hope this clarifies your question. Thanks.
