[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 434128, member: 2152"] As much as the Greenies would hate to hear it the answer to 1 & 2 is that is is extremely low. The fact is most places with any signage have very scarce visitation by authorities. There are some notable exceptions, where prospecting areas that have been designated among actively managed areas. Outside of those few places I would imagine unless you remained there for extended periods your activities would draw no attention. As for prosecution, I'm not aware of anyone (using hand tools or recreational prospecting ) ever being convicted. I've heard of dedicated works with machines escaping fines, so historical accounts post Gold Rush can be reliably reported as zero or next to zero. The penalties are pretty steep though should they successfully be enforced. [/QUOTE]
