Lease Raiding in WA

This has been discussed on other sites but it needs to be impressed on detectorists to do your research and make sure you don't walk onto a lease without getting permission first. Check Tengraph for pending ground or get the necessary permissions from the Mining Companies (best of luck with that one). Things could get nasty so take care what you do.

hi bignuggs, have things changed over there in the last 2 years, had no probs getting permission 2 years ago, although many didn't, don't know how you can relax and enjoy swinging when you are constantly looking over your shoulder !!! regards, gary

Rules are the same as 2 yrs ago, but i think the Gold Squad is making a new push on
people using machinery and doing night raids mainly, permissions are still easy to get
if approached the correct way as usual.

Hows your detecting going in Vic mate, do you get out much ?


Pete

dont get out too often of late, health probs with the mrs and sometimes myself, goldstalkergpx is the one to ask !!! hey adrian.....when i get the chance i enjoy my hobby and meet some great people, hopefully going on the road permanently sometime in the future, regards, gary

theres a lot of stories going around and I think they are probably getting a bit paranoid out Kal way.
I only know of one area where they actually have a lease manager (probably 2 guys). The are patrolling the roads and tracks 24 hrs a day.
a trip I did to the area early this year, we got caught camping on a lease and got dobbed so we moved on but the sod kept looking for us.

Yeah I do ok, but only just. I've detected with Gary a fair bit and when he gets over that way he is worth catching up with guys.

I better do some real homework on this before I head over ay!! I think I better get me one of them guides

What sort of guide, girl or dog

seems like nothing ever changes for the better.--a blast from the past
