Hello everyone, after a few years of turmoil in my life things have started to come back together so have decided to dust off the detector and get out into our wonderful country. I was a member of this site a few years ago when I was up at Carnarvon, now I have moved down to Geraldton and have had a few day trips out to Yalgoo area mainly just having a look around but have had the detector out for a hour or two each time with no success as yet but who would expect to from a couple of hours on areas I have no idea about. Would love to hear from anyone that heads out that way. I see some changes have happened with DMP access to mining tenements, could someone tell me if I can go on an EL that is pending please. Cheers Paul |

Hi Paul, Welcome back to the forum & keep at with the detecting......it all takes a little patience & some effort and your rewards will soon come along. All pending leases are open to detecting without a permit (provided you have a Miner's Right) & it is proper to let the pastorist know you are detecting on their land. |

Thanks Ted, good to see nothing has changed with pending EL's I had a look on the DMP site and there was no mention so thought I should check with you guys that are up with it to make sure I don't get any buckshot in my a@@. I prospected for a few years up north and always made sure where possible to call the pastrolist and drop a paper or two off on my way in. Had some success up north so should be on the right track just need to put more time and effort in. |

Hi Kath, thanks for the warm welcome. Good to see you have Hubby trained everyone needs a good camp cook . Not sure if I'm going to make it out myself again before it gets too hot but I'm making plans to head North next year at a spot I know I left some gold behind just hope no one has been there in the last few years
