When I see the BLM or FS, I hide my detector in my big square burlap backpack and say I'm from down south and I'm just passing through on my way to a job in Twin Falls, Idaho and they leave me alone and move on looking for meteorite and coin hunters (aka - those dastardly rogues)... ;-)

Dennis, I never said that I hunted public land. In fact I hunt private land. Look around and see what is going on. On Padri Island you can't pick up a coin with out going to jail. In some Western states you can't pick up a piece of broken pottery, with out going to jail. First they tax you 1 cent, then 10 cents, then $10. Yeah, just let them get the foot in the door. I was an Army paratrooper always ready to defend our country and keep it free! That means free for you to collect meteorites on public land! ----- Original Message ---- > From: Dennis Beatty <[email protected]> > To: James Balister <[email protected]> > Cc: "[email protected]" > <[email protected]> > Sent: Tue, March 9, 2010 12:22:37 PM > Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] It is a sad day..... > > Dear Mr. Balister, I find it ironic that on the one hand you enjoy the > public lands which have been preserved by the government, then on the other, > argue that the implementation of the rules which help to preserve the lands > are > an infringement of your freedom.
