Hi Palle,

Just my opinion but it seems to me that you are not prepared to go prospecting on Mt. Antero. The proper research can be done from that distance but without it one surely takes the risk of claim jumping. That's a lot of peoples dream, go and just get one small Aquamarine to show. If you don't feel it can be done from this distance, you can always do the research at the proper office when you get here.

I think the best way to educate the students about prospecting is to teach them the importance of research before heading out into the field to collect samples.

Good luck out there and stay safe!

It certainly is possible to do the research from any distance as I have found out. The BLM has the LR2000 and you can search county records, all from your home computer. All that would be left to do once you get there is hit the BLM and County office to check for 30/90 day claims...

I was under the impression that all claims have to be well posted. How else is it supposed to work? Without signs, I guess anyone going up there accidently could jump claims, regardless of how much information he/she brought. Also, is it claiming if you donīt tell anyone about it?

Anyway, is it Gunnison Field Office (BLM) I should contact or visit for further information?

All claims are suppose to be properly marked but can be vandalized or removed. Is why it is best to know where they are before heading to the field.

It's not accidental to be prospecting, that's an intentional activity. The cut and dry of prospecting is to know where the claims are or rather aren't so you know where to dig. It's not the claim owners responsibility to show you where the claim is but rather your responsibility to know where you are in the field.........on a claim or off!!

This question makes no sense to me since one has to find open land to prospect first, then and only then can you proceed to prospect for a discovery to stake claims upon as a citizen of this country. Also has to be filed at the proper offices once staked (claimed in the field), so one has to speak of it to them.

Palle,
Denise is absolutely correct. Here is another good link with information on how to avoid trouble: Avoid Claim Jumping

I don't think the average person realizes the severity of Mineral Trespass charges. Mineral claims are Federally protected. In addition to the fines and punishment applicable to Mineral Trespass the violator can also be held financially liable for "estimated mineral loss" and "estimated reclamation cost". This can amount to a lot.
Since the popular TV series "Prospectors" has aired claim owners have become very vigilant in the Antero and Lake George areas. I imagine they don't accept much in the way of law ignorance (I don't on my claims).
Anyway... heed the advice given in this thread and have a safe trip! We've tried to show ya how to steer yourself in the right direction and hopefully you do so. happy088.gif

Wow... scum of the earth. I applaud you for posting these pics and hope that someone here can identify these morons. Very good quality on the pics too. I'm assuming that you filed a report with the county Sheriff's Dept (the foremost proper legal action). Hopefully the damage to your claim wasn't too bad.

Please note: MS19925 known as the California Mine is private property and No Trespassing signs as well as gates have been installed. All three parcels of MS19925 - California Lode, Utah Lode and White Rock Extension Lodes are all posted - No Trespassing.

Historical land survey monuments from 1918 are still exactly on the ground where they have always been - and land monuments are the law of the land.

Trespassers including but not limited to mineral trespassers, and those who commit mineral theft will be fully prosecuted.

Questions - please contact me.

You're preaching to the choir.
This site specializes in teaching folks how NOT to mineral trespass. Try treasurenet.com
I also suggest posting it on wranglerforum.com in the 'Colorado' section. There are Antero Jeepers there that I've argued with about picking rocks there before.

It wouldn't hurt to browse through various posts on those sites looking for images of those people as well. Browse the images on this site also. Thankfully I don't see any familiar CP faces in those pics. If I see those people or pics of them anywhere I will let you know, reward not necessary.
