Many are concerned about what land remains searchable and how to find out
federal land boundaries here in the United States. You can get this
information directly from the BLM. You will need to get a Google Earth
overlay from them in order to plot federally owned land areas. Please
obtain the overlay directly from the BLM as I do not have the time to go
through the process. Remember that there is a 10 pound limit and that no
meteorites found on this land can be resold or bartered.
I provided image links of screen shots to two well-know search areas below.
Please note that all of the yellow shaded areas are federally owned and
off-limits for commercial purposes:

Private Land:
Then there is the subject of searchable private land which is intermingled
with federal and state land. I have noticed a trend that land owners are
becoming increasingly protective of their properties since their
constitutional rights are being challenged with constant regularity. Take
the privately-owned 400 acre property in the middle of Area 51 for example.
The only thing that has protected their property thus far from the
government are mining patents that give them supreme ownership rights over
the government, the way our smart forefathers intended.
One land owner was even jailed in Oregon for collecting rain water that fell
on his property. If he had a land patent with intact title instead of a
warranty deed, he would have been protected since he would have maintained
title to the center of the Earth to infinity into the space above his
property. It is pretty sad that our government even claims rainwater! They
may place rain gauges on farms in California so that they can charge for the
water?

What does this have to do with meteorite hunting? The answer is that you
better seek permission and do not be surprised if your request is denied. I
saw a no trespassing sign that read, "Note, This Property Is Protected by
UNITED STATES LAND PATENT. ", "THE RIGHT TO EXCLUDE ANYONE, EVEN THE
GOVERNMENT, OR LAW ENFORCEMENT IS A FUNDAMENTAL, CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT, SET
IN LAW, TO WIT:
And Another sign on rare patented land read, "The intruder who enters
clothed in the robes of authority in broad daylight commits no less an
invasion of property rights than if he sneaks in the night wearing a
burglar's mask."
I would be afraid to ask permission or enter either one of these properties.
I am still in the very expensive learning process myself and have focused my
attention to private property acquisition and how to seek permission to
search other private property. I was extremely fortunate to purchase a
property with a U.S. president (Woodrow Wilson) signed serial land patient
with the title 100% intact. It cost a small fortune to have a title
document research company and lawyers establish a complete title abstract.
Finding this property is like winning the lottery to me and I will go to any
length and expense to protect my land and all other rights including
business contracts and intellectual properties as anyone who has gone
against me has found out.

County, Nevada:

Note that it is completely surrounded by federal land. They have to provide
access to my property since I have supreme rights that are guaranteed
forever. Fortunately there are several roads leading to the property that
are protected forever as well so if the land is nationalized around it, I
will still have access. Another nice thing is that the ownership rights are
so supreme on this type of land that liens can never be brought against it.
Land Patent to my property Serial Number 401771 signed by the President of
the United States, his secretary and the recorder of the General Land
Office:

Here is a case of somebody taking patented land ownership to an extreme. He
created his own micro-country (5 acres)here in Nevada in the same county as
my property. Nevada recognizes his sovereignty and I find it very
entertaining.

Anyway, I wanted to move onto a another subject instead of the complete
nonsense which has been plaguing the list for the last several days.
