Someone on facebook posted a picture of their BLM Placer Mining Claim form, up to 20 acres is $140, 20.1 - 40 acres is $280. I'm thinking that with the price of gold so high, more people are trying to go out and find gold. At our GPAA outing we had over 70 people, so I'm thinking that with all these people going out looking for "free money" they've created more work for those filing the paperwork, so...raise the fees, the weak go away, after a year or so of no one filing claims, (the fees pay the bills) they'll lower the fees again. This is my humble opinion.

Well here is my opinion if they raise the fee you now if they do the free will never drop and for people going out there to get a claim and get it before me the more power to them and I ges I need to find a new spot. the more claim and more people in prospecting the louder the voice we all have and that is my opinion.
