Believe it or not, It is illegal to carry a magnet on a stick or any other searching device into some areas of California for the purpose of locating a resource. Get caught with a magnetic cane or no permit on Ivanpah Dry Lake bed for example and you will be in big trouble with the BLM. Any place that has artifacts in California which includes most dry lake beds is now off-limits to using a magnetic cane or metal detector for searching. This is what I was told by a BLM officer in the Needles California office when I tried to pin them down for answers and permits.
