[QUOTE="condor22, post: 90867, member: 1932"] There are 3 "Public" areas in S.A. 1. Mt Crawford Forrest, (which include Watts Gully and a small part of what is the Barossa Goldfields), 2. Jupiter Creek and 3. Echunga forest areas. All 3 total a lot less area than the Tarnagulla to Laanecoorie area in Vic. So not a lot. Entry requires a Park Pass @ $5 per day. Although there maybe gold, it is small and very hard to find, as much of the area has been subject to logging over the years. Other areas in the Barossa area are under S.A. Water management and detecting is prohibited. In S.A. Gold detecting is called Fossicking not prospecting. We are allowed to fossick as a hobby in these 3 areas providing we have a Pass and providing we do not sell what we find. Miners Rights in Vic transfer ownership of gold found by the holder of such rights from the Crown to the Prospector. No such device exists in S. A. All other areas described above are private property and the owners permission is required. Other areas such as in the Flinders Ranges, are National Park. Some areas are subject to Mineral Exploration Licenses. In other words, if you live in S. A. and wish to prospect for gold as a hobby expecting some success, my advice is drive 550kms to the GT in Vic, buy your miners rights and go for it.
