The truth is the "law" has not been changed. The new attitude is the result
of a "policy change" mandated internally by the BLM. They are using the
antiquities law to prosecute. I do not believe this has been challenged as
of yet.

I know these laws don't always make sense. I think they are trying to
protect
the Indian artifacts more than anything else by these no searching device
rules.
The last I checked, these artifacts were made of stone not metal so who
knows
what the lawmakers were thinking. Most listen too much of what they hear on
TV
and have no reality of what really is going on.


I have a question. Does anybody know why Roach Dry Lake is closed in
Nevada?

Best Regards,

Adam

They (the BLM) don't want to allow meteorite collecting but they will allow
ATV's to race and tear up the lake bed.
