When I see the BLM or FS,?I hide my detector in my big square burlap backpack and say I'm from down south and I'm just passing through on my way?to a job in?Twin Falls, Idaho?and?they leave?me alone and?move on looking for meteorite and coin hunters (aka - those dastardly rogues)...? ;-)

Dennis, I never said that I hunted public land.? In fact I hunt private land.? Look around and see what is going on.? On Padri Island you can't pick up a coin with out going to jail.? In some Western states you can't pick up a piece of broken pottery, with out going to jail.? First they tax you 1 cent, then 10 cents, then $10.? Yeah, just let them get the foot in the door.? I was an Army paratrooper always ready to defend our country and keep it free!?? That means free for you to collect meteorites on public land!? ?
