P2P - Pay to Play - Commercial Mines There's a lot of good privately owned mines out there that will allow you to hunt their land for a fee. If you know of a "Pay to Play" mine, then this is the place to discuss it. Locations & directions, contact info, rules & regs, P2P reviews (good or bad)... How much gold did you find? How deep was it? Chunky or fine? How pure? Helpful staff? You get the picture... and remember -- BE NICE! Moderators JamBrad, Night_Wolf_Lofts, trapperken2000, Lonewolf, Cil |

Laws, Rules, & Regs What's legal & what ain't... Discussions about BLM land, filing claims, mineral rights & infringement, tresspassing, what you can & can't do on state or federal land -- forests, parks, preserves, reservations, etc. A word of warning... Many of the laws are vague or ambiguous, so double-check with local authorities or governing bodies BEFORE you get out & do something that will get you arrested or fined... And always, ALWAYS respect private property! Moderators JamBrad, Night_Wolf_Lofts, bearfootgold, trapperken2000, Lonewolf, Cil |
