yup . most good areas are claimed here in ca, but if you do some research there are open areas where can just roll up and throw in your box. some are just open to the public others you have to find.
It is up to all prospectors to know if the ground they are planning to prospect on is claimed or not, withdrawn or open to for mineral entry. Federal, State and local Laws and regulations, USFS, BLM, Etc. You can find out these rules and regs at the BLM website for your area, the USFS website, maybe Army Corp Of Engineers, EPA and the list can go on, besides City and State rules and regs..
If you're a greenhorn, I would suggest you joining the GPAA and a local club. This would give you access to claims and people with the knowledge to help you start on this lifestyle... Good Luck and may you always have a flash in your pan..
