Glad to hear you have had good experience with the BLM.
Did you notice that the Mining Claim Packet is from the BLM? To clarify another point for other readers, the BLM website (LR2000) is for locating mine claim ownership and the County Assessor's office (for on-line info) and County Clerk and Recorder are for private property ownership. Sorry to hear you have had bad experience with the Forest Service. So readers can discern misinformation for themselves, here is the link for the US Forest Service Handbook. www.fs.fed.us/dirindexhome/dughtml/fsm.html Explore the links to get to the official (ooooo! there's that terrible word) websites for the laws and regs and forms. What is the problem with complying with these requirements, staying within the laws? We are professional miners are we not? |

What is the problem with complying with these requirements, staying within the laws? We are professional miners are we not? Part of the problem with "complying with these requirements, staying within the laws" is the incredible amount of misinformation out there. For example your statement regarding Lr2000 being for claims and the county for private property. LR2000 isn't updated constantly and there may have been claims filed up to 90 days ago that won't show up in LR, but the county will be able to tell you about them... so if you just go off LR and head out to the field thinking you are good to go, you might find yourself in the middle of someone else's freshly filed claim! LR is a good place to start and to do a virtual recon of the location, but verifying it through the county is a must. -------------------- Find Colorado Prospector on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/170314493176558
