formalities

The prerequisite for a mother to be able to work at all was the possession of a valid prospecting license. This prospect's license was issued by the mining authority. Only with the prospecting license did a miner receive permission to search for mineral resources on foreign land . According to the ancient mountain laws of the so-called mining Funny was when he had uncovered a deposit, then for this presumption insert. To do this, he had to submit two copies of a so-called courtesy slip to the competent authority, which, according to the old mining laws, was either the mining office or the mining court . With the entry into force of the General Mining Act for the Prussian states, this had to be done at the Oberbergamt. According to the Saxon Mountain Regulations of 1851, the mother had a legal claim to the award of the mine field he had assumed, according to a valid assumption. In some mining laws there was also the right to find, this was later abolished, especially in the Austrian mining law. The presumption was then depending on mountain area , either by the Bergmeister or mountain Vogt confirmed. If the mother was not able to operate the leased mine field alone for reasons of cost , he had to form a union with other mining enthusiasts .

Search for deposits

The search for deposits was usually carried out through targeted prospecting . But it was also possible that a landowner happened to find a deposit on his property. Then he had the right in some mining districts to exercise his privilege as a finder within eight days. If a miner found a new mineral in his own pit, he could also speculate for it. Until the middle of the 18th century it was even common practice to explore deposits by dowsing or using a dowsing rod . For this purpose, special dowsers were often hired to find the exact location of the deposit. The prospector then undertook the prospecting for the mineral resources again. Another possibility of looking for deposits was to dig existing mine fields. If a bill has not been built by mining, they could, at the request of a new Muters by Freifahrung be free again. Even mines that had fallen into the mountain free due to non-payment of the recess money could have a new mother.
