[QUOTE="MegsyB007, post: 439473, member: 13534"] I've read a few submissions regarding prospecting that are a bit 'light on' with any beneficial aspects of prospecting noted in them, so I posted one myself. How many prospectors have picked up a lot of lead, rusty tin and rubbish while prospecting, and disposed of it properly? This should be mentioned, because VEAC are not considering that there are thousands of prospectors out there cleaning up these areas, who are helping to keep these areas as pristine bushland, and also getting the lead out of the rivers and creeks while panning. That's heavy metal that pollutes the waterways, that prospectors are taking out of the water and improving their condition. Come on fellow prospectors - tell them how we are BENEFICIAL to these areas! We're the unofficial rubbish collectors of native areas and waterways, and either they don't realise how much we collect, because there's not a lot there (thanks to us), but they're trying to shut us out and these areas will lose their best resource that uses them - us! Send in a submission and tell them! [/QUOTE]
