When I see the BLM or FS, I hide my detector in my big square burlap backpack and say I'm from down south and I'm just passing through on my way to a job in Twin Falls, Idaho and they leave me alone and move on looking for meteorite and coin hunters (aka - those dastardly rogues)... ;-)

Dennis, I never said that I hunted public land. In fact I hunt private land. Look around and see what is going on. On Padri Island you can't pick up a coin with out going to jail. In some Western states you can't pick up a piece of broken pottery, with out going to jail. First they tax you 1 cent, then 10 cents, then $10. Yeah, just let them get the foot in the door. I was an Army paratrooper always ready to defend our country and keep it free! That means free for you to collect meteorites on public land!
