The most frustrating thing about this business is the fourteen day camping restriction on public lands. It's rediculous. Buy the time you set up camp, pick up supplies in town, survey the locale, set up your equipment and dig up the material.. It's time to start packing. God help you if you have to order something that takes three to five business days, (make that a week) to arrive. Now you only have seven days left. Of course, nobody works non-stop. You'd drop from exhaustion. So you'll need a couple of days off. Which leaves only five days of actual work. That only holds true if some whacko BLM Ranger with an attitude doesn't think you look like the guy who ran off with his wife in 1989. He's gonna tell you, "you've already been here 14 days and you have to displace 30 miles and 30 days before returning". Don't laugh. It's happened to me. This forced me to make a side trip to the hospital ER in Salida Colorado where i obtained a doctor's note that said i was suffering from an abcessed tooth and couldn't travel. The next day was wasted taking the note to the regional BLM office where Ranger Ron's supervisor issued a temporary waiver allowing me to stay the remaining (Three Days) of my vacation. Silly of me to think Ranger Ron would accept the note on the spot without the approval of his supervisor... who agreed laughing i did kind'a resemble the guy who ran off with Ron's wife back in 89'. So after spending a thousand dollars and travelling 1500 miles, i got to prospect and pan at Point Bar Colorado (Three Days). The Vicadin i got at the hospital was the only bright spot in an otherwise crappy experience. Who makes these assanine rules and restrictions ? Why are they being arbitrarily enforced by psychologically unstable officers ? IS THERE ANYWHERE YOU CAN GO AND PROSPECT FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS WITHOUT BEING HARRASSED AND DRIVEN NUTS !!!Fullpan likes this. Reply With Quote Yesterday 04:25 PM # ADSAds

If anyone out there has a claim on private land and needs help.. I'm available. I'm a retired fireman. I got nuthin but time and money. I can feed and house myself and shovel 70 buckets of dirt a day into a highbanker for 20% of whatever we net after operating costs. I'm just bone tired of havin some badge walkin up and tell'en me "It's time to move on". This work is too hard and gold is too hard to find to have to put up with this same government B.S. every year. Others have suggested joining a Club. But guess what.. They've all got 14 day limitations too.Reply With Quote Yesterday, 07:56 PM#3goldog Sep 2012Tujunga, CA65 14 times Prospecting
I've got it! You need another guy just like you. Equipment, time and skill to get the job done. After a couple weeks, switch. May need 3 teams to avoid the thirty day rule.Fullpan likes this. Reply With Quote Yesterday, 08:09 PM#4pmgsourdough Feb 2013Black Hills, SD25 4 times Prospecting
Just to mess with them.
You and me both brother. The 14 day limit on public land is absurd. The common response when trying to debate the rule with gfp is "if you do it, then everyone will want to do it". How many people are willing to go 24 hours without television, internet, electricity, running water, etc... let alone 14 days! my personal record is 63 consecutive days without leaving camp in the black hills. In that time, i did not see another human being.

I wish common sense was like the flu. Then, everyone would catch it......Reply With Quote Yesterday, 11:00 PM#6Doitlaynstyle PrepperFeb 2013IdahoRock Nose and sniffer belly61 11 times Prospecting

Its easy for me, way over in Reno, but some old-timers have done nothing to defend their own rights to keep mining. I'm NOT talking about anyone on Tnet.Reply With Quote
I'm talking about the 15,000 claimowners who were called personally by the WMA - less than ten offered to help in their own defense, actively. The Gold Rush
Alaska showed that, up there was a common practice to lease from claimowners at 10%
My point is, it can be a win-win for the leasee, who gets to mine a claim for more than 14 days. And the claimowners would get their annual filings paid
for, and some additional income from bankside deposits that he will never mine in the first place. Just sayin
