Hey guys long time no see..CP and Mrs. CP...as I was in the mtns. of North carolina this last weekend I went to a mineral museum which had lost of books...now 90% of all rock and min. books just repeat the same thing..so they get nary a glance from me...well this time I noticed one book way in the back in the corner.."whats this" I say..."golly gosh darn lookie here" ...looks like a Bible but not just any old bible the "Mt. Antero Bible"(comparing this find to something as good as the Bible:)) well heck ya..this is an awesome book..extremely in-depth..well written..all the info you could ever need..it's older written in the 80's but still an excellent read...what is the collecting status on Antero and White mtns. now? Are there still large lode claims filed on those molybdenum areas? any other info you can provide?

Excuse me and forgive my ignorance but several of the photos on Antaro look like innocent hikers.. My understanding is, that if your claim is on public land, you cannot stop people from hunting, camping or hiking. All the claimant has is the mineral tights on public land, if a hiker has NO prospecting gear, there's not a thing you can do....

The areas that Marine mentioned seem to be private lands, not public lands. It looks like he is after trespassers as opposed to mineral trespassers or maybe both. If those areas were mineral claims on public lands you would be correct except the prospecting gear would have nothing to do with it. Someone can steal minerals from a claim with just their hands, and just because they have prospecting gear doesn't mean they are stealing. I sometimes look at others claims to see where the boundaries are and what they are digging into while I have prospecting equip with me, but I only look and never dig or remove any rocks or minerals. -------------------- |
