Sorry folks, I forgot to specify anything about the "50 lb" question.
I believe what this stems from is yet another confusing recreational orientated term. There is a "rock collecting or sampling" weight limit rule that is written as "250 lbs of removed material allowed per year, per person". That is a general "rule" (not law as far as I know) that is applied to those who are just out to recreate and obiviously do not apply to the real prospector/claim owners. They most certainly would probably exceed that weight rather quickly in their actual prospecting field work! Yes I can see the uniforms trying to use this with gold prospectors and their concentrates in recreational settings.....no different the rock sampling is it at a recreational level? This is a great spot in the discussion to point out how much Colorado Prospector club membership can help folks understand these differences, especially in the field when someone offers up wrong information for you to make future decisions upon! For anyone interested in a more successful prospecting future for themselves......You can find out about the club membership and how to join by clicking on the Colorado Prospector club membership page link. We feel if you have the right information you'll be much more successful in the field!! -------------------- CP-Owner/Administrator

Great info Dan and I agree regarding the membership. That is what took me from zero to hero when I was learning the nuances of research! And really not that long ago.
The archived information in the Protected Forum that you've posted and sticky'd is priceless. Absolutely shortened the learning curve for me and I continue to learn stuff.  Very much appreciated.
