So lets try to review only one possible scenario now- * Metal detectoris/Sluce box and shovel * Ocassional activity * What area permit can be given for? * Cost of such permit /per day count? * Royalties? * Other thoughts ??? * Other thoughts ??? * Other thoughts ??? Basically we need to review each possible scenario eparetly , crate a discussion toppic- PER SCENARIO. once complte our thoughts- make a bullet points part for submition. at the end submition should look like: Proposed changes: * Include metal detecting * Include Ocassional Permit * Permit proce Per activity * ETC ETC. THoughts please?

Now what next is the question.....maybe start a thread on each scenario like you say and attack each question/statement one by one?

Now what next is the question.....maybe start a thread on each scenario like you say and attack each question/statement one by one? Yes, Create a topic for each possible scenario as each scenario will have different set options/prices and suggestions. Simply cannot compare Metal detectorist flying for the weekend to South island with a local dredge operator, righ? etc. you, guys from South Island need to start as you have all main info. fresh nubies will share their ideas as Newbies do not have a MINDSET for one way of things to do..... uh.. trying to use proppper English.... i will try again... Old gold prospector knows things and following one way of doing things. Newbie known nothing - hence might suggest something new , thinking out of squere.
