One should know the land status they are prospecting on.....PRIOR to prospecting.

This thread should help everyone reading to understand.

i can see this creeping into other states (as it is doing right now)due to people not keeping a vigulant watch on their own state/county. but i agree, not knowing where you are and whats the rules can/will ruin it for all!
