Hi Count, They made it illegal to put up uncapped markers, but because nobody did anything with the old, markers that define mostly defunct claims (which should have been an obvious outcome), they made all PVC markers illegal. I think they should still allow pipe to be used (PVC or otherwise), but that it must be capped. And they can still allow people to remove (but leave in place) any uncapped markers (because they are important boundary markers). I think a blanket outlawing of any use of PVC as a marker is an over reaction. There is a strong anti-mining movement, and it is sad to give them the excuse to remove responsible capped pipes, just because the pipe is PVC and they don't like miners. I think a common sense should be applied. Happy hunting, Mark

The finding of ore bodies and the staking and recording of those claims is a necessity. The use of white Schedule 40 PVC pipes evolved from first using Prince Albert tobacco tins to be the most efficient and economical way of marking a claim. Everybody I know likes birds. They look at them. They take pictures of them. They paint them, they count them, keep them as pets... and they even hunt and eat them. They are a necessity of life certainly. So, do we have to pass a state mining regulation requiring placing a $1.49 pvc cap on the pipe with a couple of taps of a hammer, or a swab of pvc glue and save the little birdies? Or is it better to marshal a small army of PETA types to spread out into the desert knocking over snd deatroying other peoples property markers? Jesus must weep with the stupidity.
