The Dept of the Interior is on the rampage in Alaska also. They have removed dozens of miners using the Prudent Man Rule but WAIT--each and every time they are using detectors and when they fund ANY artifacts,even a lousy lead sealed tin can,well your claim is in forfiture as a HISTORICAL ARCHELOGY SITE...........
The filthy dogs are using every last trick in the book. Hell even my claims in trinity are in SEGREGATION(aka NO mining for 20 years whilst they figure out if the creek is able to be bulldozed,raped and pillaged to build salmon grounds) because the Hoopa said so in the TRRP-river retardation program-the push is on with cabin burnings galore and on and on....
