I'm curious if anyone has been questioned by rangers while they've been out detecting for gold?
Would love to hear your stories.

That's a great question, 1 which I went looking for an answer for just b4 you posted. I couldn't find anything about if a digital copy is acceptable or not, but they do state that photo copies are not ok. Printed copies are ok provided you bought your miners right online. I printed out like 6 copies when I paid for mine incase a copy or 2 got wet or munted up some how and fell apart. Always handy to have spares.ozziii said:Question.... Is it ok to have a picture of your miners right on your phone, will that be enough to please the rangers.?
I keep my miners right on me but was thinking just incase you accidentally forgot it or lost it would a good pic satisfy them.?
Yeah I don't know about that. My personal opinion, which counts for nothing, is it should be ok. But then why is a photo copy not. I think copy is the defining word that they don't like.Hard Luck said:I can't see why a digital copy would not be ok.
That and a licence to prove your id should be fine.

I've gone nose to nose with the rangers a couple of times
I maybe a little anal about this but I keep in the ute the following
Original miners right
Maps of where I'm prospecting and some maps from geovic showing EL's, crown land, parks etc and where I am in relation to these
That way I can argue my case for being there with some justification and it has paid off, one time they were convinced I was somewhere else on the map but once we looked at the maps they were happily on their way.
Too much to loose if you are not prepared.
