Any prospectors on the board?

This is my mining claim on the Arkansas River. I can only mine casually until I complete an "Environmental Assessment " report and have it approved by BLM office in Canon City. That means no motorized mining equipment. I can't dredge until it is approved. However, casual mining is approved. Casual mining by definition is panning and using a sluice box. You can shovel river material below the high water line into a sluice box. The gravel bar on the north side of the claim is fair game. I have not found a single speck of gold on this claim. I have found gold on nearby areas of the river.The gold is usually really fine, like a dust. I have claim markers on the side of Highway 50 marking the boundaries of the claim. The markers have CMC 288123 written on them. All locatable mineral rights between the two markers in the river are legally mine.
Any and all COAR members that want to casually-recreationally mine my claim by pan or sluice box are more than welcome. If you have a gold pan and a shovel you can legally camp there too. Camping can only be on the north side of the river. Access can be by ATV, motorcycle, bicycle, horse, etc. No digging or undermining the river bank. No camping or digging on the island. If anybody is interested in using the claim let me know by PM. There is too much information to put it all here. This is very rugged country. There are bears, mountain lions, rattle snakes etc. For the most part there is no cell coverage. You have to be very careful of rocks that slide down the mountains. You will probably need a GPS that can show lat & lon to find the claim. Hopefully I can get the EA approved this year and run a motorized dredge. Feel free to PM if you want to use the mining claim.
