About this layer
Mining leases identify areas covered by recorded mining rights. Compare them with your intended location and inspect the available lease details. Confirm the current status and permissions before planning work on the land.
What it is for
Check the legend, status and available record details. Confirm the current record and relevant access arrangements before visiting.
Limits
Applications and granted rights are different. A mapped boundary alone does not tell you whether detecting is permitted.

About this layer
Stream sediment samples test material collected from creek or river beds. A higher reading can be a clue to mineral-bearing ground somewhere upstream. Compare nearby samples and the upstream drainage; the sample point is not necessarily the source.
What it is for
Compare readings along the drainage and with the geology upstream. Check the legend for the element and units.
Limits
Sediment can travel and mix with material from different sources. A sample point is not a precise source location.

About this layer
Property boundaries show how the land is divided into parcels. Use the outlines to identify the land you want to research and check the available parcel details. A boundary does not give permission to enter or establish a public route.
What it is for
Use the outlines to identify the parcel you want to research, then check the relevant land records and access arrangements.
Limits
Map boundaries can be approximate. A parcel outline does not identify a public route or give permission to enter.

About this layer
Land-use layers show how areas are managed or classified. Compare overlapping layers before planning a visit and check the details for the land you intend to use. An area with no shading is not automatically open to detecting.
What it is for
Turn on the relevant layers together and read their legends and notes. Check current conditions with the land manager before planning a visit.

About this layer
These are mapped fossicking or recreational prospecting areas. Open the area details and check the permitted activities, boundaries and conditions before visiting. Rules can vary between sites and between panning, detecting and other equipment.
What it is for
Read the individual area details and source guidance before visiting. Check the boundary and the activities covered by that arrangement.
Limits
Conditions may vary by site, equipment and activity. A panning or fossicking area is not automatically permission for every form of detecting.

About this layer
Historic claims and leases show where mineral rights were recorded in the past. They can help you trace earlier exploration and mining interest. An expired or historical record does not mean the land is now open.
What it is for
Compare historic activity with current tenure, geology and access layers when researching an area.
Limits
An expired or closed record does not mean land is now open. Check current records and permissions separately.

LiDAR uses laser measurements to map the shape of the ground. Hillshade adds simulated light and shadow so banks, channels, diggings and other surface features are easier to see. It shows ground shape, not buried metal.
