Hi all,  I know what I need to pan, sluice, high bank in my home territory of Oregon and California. The question is what will I need to be legal while vacationing this summer in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and South Dakota,  Looking at their various web sites has only reinforced my disdain for lawyer-speak.   We will not be doing any dredging.  Your help would be muchly appreiciated..

  • Just be sure that you are not in a park, private land or some one's claim. Other than that, I think you'll be fine.
    • Oh yaaaa,......
      One more thing, a big thing......
      Check on the mining/prospecting laws are for each state you will "conduct operations".
      A prospectors' store in an area can give ya the skinny.
      If you belong to a club, check out their claims, and members' rules for prospecting.
      You're pretty safe, as long as ya don't dredge in Kalif.
      • Go on the chat room and talk to Ken AKA Mountain Man he can tell you abought Idaho and montana and the rest most likley.
