Recently returned from a mineralogy symposium and every speaker commented on the problem with the BLM and Forest Service obstructing their field research.
But that is off-topic.
What is on-topic, and where more discussion needs to be done, is how these agencies are increasingly holding back meteorite researchers from conducting field work, by requiring more and more paperwork and permits. The next fall on public lands will find researchers unable to get to the strewn-field in a timely manner, because they will be mired in regulations. The primary concern of these .gov agencies seems to be in generating more and more paperwork. My first hand experience with the Nevada BLM is that they have little interest in meteorite-recovery and even less about meteorite-hunters removing a scant few pounds from the surface of the ground. They seem to have little interest in science, let alone hobbyists and their meteorites. So, it is no surprise that they have little concern about private property rights.
Good luck in your battles protecting your rights.
