Notes
  • Always be sure that you have done your research. Before you enter an area to start hunting for minerals like gold or silver, check first with the Bureau of Land Management to be sure that there is no existing Mineral Rights claim on the land you want to check out. The Bureau of Land Management or BLM is the government agency responsible for recording claims.
  • You can file a Mineral Rights Claim on undedicated Federal lands which will give you the right to mine and prospect the land although you do not own it, you may camp there and all minerals found are yours.
  • Before you start panning on public lands, check to see that no Mineral Rights Claims exist or you could find yourself in an awful lot of trouble.
