Hey... We need to do something about the latest news on Yahoo.com where it is reported that Congress is now considering 3 separate bills to transfer millions of acres of federal lands and National Forests to the States. What is that going to do to us prospectors when it is the states that do a worse job of denying us access to lands to pan or prospect than the national government. Granted, I've got my beefs with the Forest Service and BLM, but not like I do with various states that prohibit us from doing anything like panning, sluicing, dredging, etc.

Not yahoo, but this article summarizes it (found from googling "federal land transfer to states" and shortening to stories written in the past month): Think Progress Site
The quoted article from Colorado College is here, and the figure they quote is in paragraph 3: Colorado College Poll The bills can be found here: HR 3650 HR 2316 HR 4579 I haven't perused them yet, but may do some research later on this if I'm so inclined. -------------------- Lifetime Member
