Yes some people can make themselves more than welcome sometimes. There used to be a bloke at Oallen who used to regularly come up to your spot and he would start panning right in the hole you were digging. He just couldn't seem to take a hint and had to be told a little bit more firmly about what your thoughts were on his practice.

Just plain rudeness.  Never had it happen to me personally. A bloke I used to bump into told me if anyone rocks in like that he uses the line...........Ahh yeah I just decided to stop quickly and see if there was any colour here. I did OK down around the bend there yesterday tho  and off they would go  |

When I lived in the caravan along Reedy Creek in the early 2000's, people would come in on long weekends, Xmas & Easter etc & camp where I was. Didn't worry me much as they weren't usually prospectors. Since I've been living where I do now & camping regularly for the last 10 years in the golden triangle I haven't had anyone come in & want to camp at the spot I'm in. I think the mentality is different in detecting areas compared to panning/sluicing ones.
