Fisherman2008 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 I was scouting this past weekend in 20C and in an area that is BLM land someone had posted a home-made sign that claimed that "Loitering within 500 feet" of a waterhole was violating state law. I know that you can't camp within 1/4 of water, but loitering? Has anyone heard of such a thing? Thanks, Terry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradne Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Never heard of anything like that. Sounds like someone that does not like hunters hunting over a watering hole. I would consider a homemade sign on public land as litter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fisherman2008 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Ok, that's what I thought, just wanted to make sure there wasn't some new rule I hadn't heard about. This was up near Stanton and there were a lot of unusual miners wandering around there that reminded me of the uni-bomber. One of the more friendly ones stopped to talk while we were stopped by the side of the road and I noticed he had an AK-47 laying on his back seat on a blanket...it's really like a whole other country down there.

COUESAZ Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Hey do not hammer us prospectors. With gold worth what it is per ounce it can get touchy out there. I am not kidding when i say there are shots being fired. Claim jumping is not a smart thing to do right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not kidding when i say there are shots being fired. Claim jumping is not a smart thing to do right now. Does anyone know where I can sell about four or five ounces of gold dust, flakes and small nuggets without getting ripped off? Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COUESAZ Report post Posted September 29, 2009 I will talk to my friend Russ Ford up in the mayor are and see if he is buyin right now. The best money you can get right now is on Ebay. Nuggets on Ebay are going for over spot price in most cases. You can also send me photos and i can post it for you on the proscpecting forums guys buy gold all the time.

NRS Report post Posted September 29, 2009 Never heard of anything like that. Sounds like someone that does not like hunters hunting over a watering hole. I would consider a homemade sign on public land as litter. I work for the BLM and that sign is considered littering. If you need more info, contact the BLM office in Phoenix that is on N 7 th Ave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
