[QUOTE="Stevoggo, post: 128423, member: 4471"] Hi All, Am I right in understanding that metal detecting IS then allowed in NSW state forests. When I read the NSW state forest guide it says no powered equipment. The woman at the office when I organised my permit also said no as it was "powered" However in the government guide to Fossicking in NSW it also stated metal detecting is permitted anywhere fossicking is allowed. In the guide to fossicking in Orange it says "Power-operated equipment including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, battery and electrical equipment or machinery is prohibited on land or in waters for surface disturbance, excavation or processing." This would still allow metal detectors and is probably what is meant in the state forest info? Probably explained somewhere on this site I did try a search New to this... Thanks Steve [/QUOTE]
