[meteorite-list] Magnet canes are evil DONT THINK SO!

[Adam Hupe]

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.

Best Regards,
