Clearly the answer is NO. How about you do and let us know what you find?

...that's why they call it prospecting.

Mine it and recycle it!

You can call the national Forrest, most require u to have a permit. I had them email me one, I am only allowed to pan the streams only and some areas are restricted. So call because you don't want to pay a 5k fine
