Maybe we can in the future with more response to them. I can always continue to work within the forums and personal communications for free though as I always do with any club members who inquire. Seminars take time and money to hold for "face to face" interactions, but I totally agree that they would help disseminate information quickly. Maybe we can get another "pow wow" sort of gathering this year sometime to discuss these things face to face in more detail....ie "ownership". Ownership is what I believe to be part of the most misunderstood beginning steps prospectors in the field face........the feds do not own the lands or the minerals!! They are merely OUR administrative managers (paid for by us) of those lands and have no ownership what so ever, WE THE PEOPLE OWN THAT LAND!! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator www.ColoradoProspector.com IF YOU USE IT, THE GROUND PRODUCED IT!
