In 1851 did a miner need a gold mining license?

No, a miner did not need a license to mine. He needed a claim to mine. Mining someone else's claim could get you killed, and more than a few miners were killed for their legally acquired and held claims.The above answer does not refer to conditions in Australia.In Australia, miners did need a licence in order to mine or even just pan for gold. Licence checks were regularly carried out, and those without a licence were fined or arrested. After the Eureka Stockade in 1854, as goldfields conditions were examined, the Miner's Right eventually replaced the licence. This was cheaper and was not accompanied by the relentless, intrusive licence checks.
