Hi everybody.
![]() HELP! What's the easiest and most accurate way to view or to plot active mining claims? My goal is to preview claims from a birds-eye-view on a map so that while I'm prospecting I will not trespass on mineral rights. Geocommunicator.com is not accurate, title master platts don't show un-patented claims and LR2000 provides serial numbers that when entered into Geocommunicator.com gives all coordinates (each corner of the claim) in "decimal" format (not degree, minutes and seconds). The area I'm prospecting shows a claim density of 50 - 100 claims and I KNOW there has to be an easier way to identify/view claim bounderies without me: 1) Converting decimal coordinated to degrees, minutes and seconds (for EACH corner of EACH claim). 2) Ploting those coordinates on a topographical map. In other words... What's the best technique for prospecting while at the same time avoid trespassing? THANKS! |

The blm waives liability for the lr2000 even being correct. Good luck with that, if you can even figure out how to use it.
They told me all claims will be clearly marked and most will be fenced which I know isn't true. He insisted that claims are always clearly marked hehe. It's just one more fail to add to the list of many. They want to run it all but they aren't competent. The blm office in Gunnison can't make anything of the lr2000. It's like a foreign language to them. Worthless individuals. -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16
