New member ? about Classes

[mmbrown2000]

Probably most people know this, but what exactly are the different classes in reference to...land or ? And where can I find a definition of the different types? I tried the internet but my search must be wrong.
Thanks for any help.

I assume you want info on where its legal to prospect/metal detect? And knowing the land status (forest lands, BLM lands, private property locations, etc.) is
what you want to look into?

Land classification?.. There is a lot of public land east of you.

 

[mmbrown2000]

Yes Fullpan, that's correct.

 

[mmbrown2000]

Okay, great, thank you Goldwasher.

If you hunt for "Land usage maps" on the California BLM site you should be able to find one like the one I found for Arizona. It shows where BLM lands are, Forest Service, etc etc etc. ASLD Parcels Included a link to the AZ site so yo know what to look for. Good luck.

There will shortly be a series of "Classes" posted by Clay Diggens that will cover how to research areas to know if you can prospect them, claim them etc as well as how to go about filing a claim. Knowing Clay this is going to be a VERY good series that will teach us all how to do it the right way.

You already know this, I'm sure, mmbrown - the days of wandering around searching for treasure/gold are long gone. These days you have to have experience in research, to avoid trouble. Fortunately 90 % of research can be done on your computer. Here is Mother Lode BLM info page as an intro to further research:

Are you looking for relics,gold

 

[mmbrown2000]

No, I am just trying to educate myself. Curious. That sounds fun though. I've only panned for gold so far and watched a sluice.
