Thanks Matt, as a new be to detecting for gold in the Territory l really appreciate this info, thank you. When l firstL started detecting back in the eighties in Victoria, all you needed was a Miners Right to allow you to prospect on crown land. Feels such a long time ago and l wish l had a PI machine back then. The old VLF machines were all we had and we did ok, found lots of rubbish and the odd shallow nugget, it was a great learning experience . Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge on the subject👍👍👍👍👍
Learned a new word today.😊 fossicking , look round, rummage, ransack, scrounge (informal), fossick (Australian, New Zealand) I had no idea I've been doing this all my life . Almost sixty never to old to learn something new. Well off to my next Fossicking adventure.
Erevs Tov Matt. "Good Afternoon " Will do, we were planning on coming across this Year to view NT firstly, showy Wife the Areas etc. And swing our Detectors.. We are full time Vanners, who detect everywhere we go. Will keep it contact of when we hit your Tur Ahava Glen & Margaret Dibben. Townsville Queensland
Thanks mate, I have prospected on Spring Hill South, NT Gov have been really quick with the consent as it is a Proposed site, the station are 'less than happy' to have people there, but they haven't interfered or approached me, I did meet the Lease holder of the ML just North of Spring Hill, he was fine, once he realised I was totally legit and had no intention of going near his site.
Hi Matt. Thanks for the info and great video. I moved to Darwin from Vic almost 2 years ago, and have not been out in that time. I use to get out regularly and explore the old mines, via rope access. I have all the equipment and safety equipment to do so, if you are interested in prospecting some of the underground mines in the NT. I would be interested to have a chat
I will recommend to the people that I find/ run into on the area I keep an eye on to look up and watch this video it is much appreciated that you took the time to do this. STRIKE, I find this site almost impossible to use, it really needs to be downsized and updated with a specific area in it for prospectors and fossickers that is highlighted at the beginning of the site, indexed clearly. I have found that the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade rotate their staff far to much and you cannot get an answer from them that the next staff member interprets in a different manner, I suppose it is a way to not take responsability for their actions should it get to a court level, put everything in writing/email when dealing with this department. Enjoy the Northern Territory and most of the stuff you read about in the media is just a huge beat up by the media, most people are just here for the freedom and weather although the feedom is being eroded by to many laws that only affect honest people and not the people they are meant to affect.
Very informative, thank you Matt. Is this paperwork available from a government website or do we need to go in person to collect notification paperwork.
Great video, so just to confirm we can prospect for gold on pastoralist land with just giving them notice of intention with 7days advance and do NOT need their consent or response
@@TerraRangerGold That’s great wish QLD was like that, I am planning a trip up NT do you have any advice on how I find the contact details of the pastoralist?
