No it's not been challenged. Yet... Internal Policy, nor
misinterpretation of vague/broad Acts, is not law.

antiquities law to prosecute. I do not believe this has been challenged as
of yet.

I know these laws don't always make sense. I think they are trying to
protect
the Indian artifacts more than anything else by these no searching device
rules.
The last I checked, these artifacts were made of stone not metal so who
knows
what the lawmakers were thinking. Most listen too much of what they hear on
TV
and have no reality of what really is going on.
I have a question. Does anybody know why Roach Dry Lake is closed in
Nevada?

They (the BLM) don't want to allow meteorite collecting but they will allow
ATV's to race and tear up the lake bed.

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.

Adam
