This is an extremely important issue. As a hand-shake visitor to privately
held ranches here in the gold-zone in California, we leave everything as
found...gates as found, land as found, holes filled and grasses replaced to
grow again...all for major reasons. First, respect for the land and
land-owners and the honor extended to me to hunt their property, second to
leave no sign of any hunt, this latter ever much so on public land for
obvious reasons. There is only a down-side to the alternative
irresposibility. We have an obligation to treat our gift of knowledge with
the utmost repsect, from not only a discovery potential but mostly to not
leave a blemish.

Yep, there are parts of Nevada that I believe have never been explored, at
least
by modern man. It is nice to drive 100 miles down dirt trails and not see
a
single sign of recent human inhabitants. No trash, no fences, no noise
pollution, no light pollution and no cell phone connections. You can
actually
see the Milky Way, something I have not witnessed on a regular basis since
I was
a kid.
I remember four wheeling it with some friends last Spring who pointed out
wild
life running in herds. I realized that it could easily pass for a safari
in
Africa but here we were in Nevada. This state has barely been touched as
far as
meteorite hunters go and I would like to see it remain open to meteorite
hunters
for generations to come. It would be a shame if a few lazy gold hunters
leaving
gaping holes behind make it off limits for other purposes or too much talk
of
monetary value starts an unwanted amateur meteorite hunting rush out here.
If
you see one of these idiots, remind them to fill their holes and pick up
their
trash. I think if we all respect the landowners and their land that this
area
will be open to meteorite hunters for at a least a couple of more years.
Happy Hunting,
Adam
