[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 649843, member: 378"] Hi dhall, Sadly, the Lightning Ridge opal mining district is now under fairly strict limitations in regards to fossicking and specking on the opal fields. This is now signed well in the area. Unless you know or, have permission from a claim operator/mine manager to be there on a particular claim then all fossicking is relegated to the heaps at the tourist information center (they just manually throw bits and pieces on the dirt there regularly for tourists to find). Don't let that deter you from a visit to the opal fields however. The Ridge is still a unique old town to spend a couple of days in. Regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
