[QUOTE="washgravel, post: 78820, member: 3102"] The amount of penalty units would worry me if caught doing the wrong thing in Qld since one penalty unit is $110 and the law says "[i]A person fossicking under a licence must not use machinery or equipment (other than a hand tool) to fossick Maximum penalty400 penalty units[/i]" which totals out to 110 x 400 = $44,000 fine. Also if found on occupied land such as someone's Mining Lease then that is 50 penalty units so you are hit with a $5,500 fine and more than likely a Mining Lease holder would have some type of hidden bush surveillance camera system.
