Today is the start of a New Year and I wish everyone the best for the up coming year. I would like everyone to understand that calling the BLM to find out about treasure troves is not going to get you anywhere except on their watch list. If you start talking about treasure trove with the local officials of the BLM they are going to give you the company line and tell you that everything that is buried on BLM land and is over 50 years belongs to the Government. Then they proceed to give you legal advice to which they know nothing about. What they don't tell you that you have to go above their heads and go to the Department of Interior which is their boss. You also have to know what is an artifact and what is not. You also have to be aware if what you are looking for is on an active mining claim or not. They will also tell that if you get a Court Order from a United States District Court that they don't have to follow it. I personally know different I have had them in court several times and they always stipulate out because they do not want the Court to know that the BLM is in a conflict of interest.
