[QUOTE="Paleoworld-101, post: 22146, member: 998"] Hi everyone, I'm about to receive my Garrett Ace 250 in the mail soon and I can't wait to take it for a swing but I have a question. What are the laws regarding metal detecting in Sydney, or NSW for that matter? I am new to this hobby so would like a bit of info that will stop me from doing anything illegal. Can I metal detect on public land such as the local beach, parks or anywhere else on public land without getting into trouble? Obviously for private land, the permission of the landholder must be obtained and for National Parks or nature reserves detecting is a big no no but this question focuses more on public land. Fellow Sydney metal detectorists- did you need to obtain permission to go on beaches or parks and detect? If so who did you contact? The council? I know the ethics regarding metal detecting- re-fill holes, put rubbish in the bin etc but am not sure if detecting is allowed on public land or not. Cheers, Paleo [/QUOTE]
