[QUOTE="just starting, post: 485396, member: 14279"] Be careful of heritage sites if you go bush.I live in an area with heritage listings everywhere.I know where i am allowed to be and where the boundaries are. One bloke up this way ( Ballarat ) got caught detecting in a heritage area and had his equipment and vehicle confiscated . Best to know where all the heritage and reserve sites are so you don`t end up in this situation. Beware also of fencelines / boundary lines . Bushfires will burn down fencelines and sometimes the fences never get rebuilt ,so you could be encroaching on private property . It has happened to me,but i was lucky enough to get onto some places to look around when i knew the property owners. Some old mine sites are now on private property ,so be mindful of that ,too. Keep away from sporting ovals. There was an incident a few years` back in Maryborough where a bloke dug all these gopher holes at Princes park and they couldn`t play footy on the oval until it was fixed. Google it. It`s not all bad ,though , Hookka. Plenty of places to go and a lot of fantastic forest areas to explore and enjoy. Sounds like you are already having fun detecting here and you are off to a good start with your finds. Keep it up ,mate. FOZ [/QUOTE]
