Thank you for clarifying this and the well-thought out response. I will
make one correction. There are no such thing as "Nevada BLM" agents. They
are federally employed so have no state boundaries and are free to roam
about like the rest of the Department of Interior across state lines.

Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Ron Hartman Collection items coming to Tucson
Recently returned from a mineralogy symposium and every speaker commented
on the problem with the BLM and Forest Service obstructing their field
research.
But that is off-topic.
What is on-topic, and where more discussion needs to be done, is how these
agencies are increasingly holding back meteorite researchers from
conducting field work, by requiring more and more paperwork and permits.
The next fall on public lands will find researchers unable to get to the
strewn-field in a timely manner, because they will be mired in
regulations. The primary concern of these .gov agencies seems to be in
generating more and more paperwork. My first hand experience with the
Nevada BLM is that they have little interest in meteorite-recovery and
even less about meteorite-hunters removing a scant few pounds from the
surface of the ground. They seem to have little interest in science, let
alone hobbyists and their meteorites. So, it is no surprise that they have
little concern about private property rights.
Good luck in your battles protecting your rights.
