[meteorite-list] Secret BLM maps

[Adam Hupe]

I agree that these heritage sites should be protected.  My only concern is how 
BLM field agents convey information.  They are public servants and should tell 
the truth.  If they do not know the laws, then they should simply state this 
instead of making things up.  I get a different message from every one I have 
talked to in regards to meteorite hunting.  Washington and Oregon are now 
definitely off limits and there are no permits for meteorite hunting available. 
This is a simple way to violet somebodies rights; Tell them they need a permit 
and then don't issue any.

This is a sore subject for me since I can no longer search on public lands in my 
ex-state of Washington Thus never achieving a goal I set.  Meteorites are now 
considered treasure and will be protected as such in some areas.
