BLM WyomingRockhounding on Public Lands

Telephone: 307-775-6256FAX: 307-775-6129

www.blm.gov/wyoming

Where is rock collection permissible?

Rockhounding is recognized as a legitimate recreational pursuit on nearly all of the 18 million acres of public land in Wyoming. These public lands administered by the BLM are open to everyone to take limited amounts of rock material for noncommercial purposes without charge. Maps showing the location of public lands in Wyoming can be obtained from this office or any BLM offices (for addresses see information handout “WYNF-0007, BLM Offices in Wyoming”). Some areas have special designations that restrict access and the type of activities allowed. For example, cave resources are federally protected and may not be altered, damaged or removed, and Abandoned Mine Lands should not be entered under any circumstance. You should check with the closest BLM field office to become familiar with local procedures, policies and areas with authorized restrictions.

No artifacts, please

The Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979 and the Antiquities Act of 1906 are designed to protect our nation’s cultural resources. These laws prohibit the unauthorized excavation, removal, damage or alteration of any archaeological and historical site or object. Petroglyphs, human graves, old dwellings, pottery, stone tools, arrowheads and other remains of Indians and early inhabitants are protected by law because they may provide important links to our past.

How about fossils?

Fossil collecting has its own set of rules. Vertebrate fossils (which include bones, teeth and footprints) cannot be collected, but invertebrate and plant fossils that are not of special scientific interest may be collected in reasonable amounts for personal use. No fossils collected from public land can be sold, traded or bartered. Please see the pamphlet titled “Fossils on America’s Public Lands” available at BLM offices.

May petrified wood be collected?

Collection of petrified wood is allowed but has special rules. For rockhounding purposes, you may collect up to 25 pounds of petrified wood, plus one piece, each day, not to exceed 250 pounds of petrified wood in any calendar year without a permit. You may not combine your allowance with another collector’s to obtain larger pieces of petrified wood. Collections of petrified wood are for personal use, and may not be bartered or sold. Permits may be obtained from a local BLM office for collection of more than 250 pounds a year or for commercial use. Please see the “Fossils on America’s Public Lands” pamphlet (P-406).

Collected but not destroyed . . .

Explosives or power equipment is not an acceptable method of collecting minerals regardless of type addressed in

A “reasonable amount”

refers to quantities limited

to a personal hobby

collection and/or home

display, and obtained via

surface collection or the

use of nonpowered hand

tools resulting in only

negligible disturbance to

the Earth’s surface.

this pamphlet. Hand tools are the only acceptable method of collection. All disturbances are to be reclaimed after collection. Off-road vehicle use may also be restricted. Also, fossil and/or mineral collecting may be restricted or prohibited in some areas to allow dedication of the land for another purpose. Such restrictions follow official notice in the Federal Register and the areas are posted. Contact the local BLM field office for additional information.

Permits?

Depending on the resource, the BLM grants permits or authorizations to individuals, institutions and organizations to conduct scientific research (such as research occurring at archaeological, historical and paleontological sites) or for commercial use of mineral resources. These permits/contracts are issued and administered by the BLM either at the local field offices (contracts/permits for commercial uses) or at the Wyoming State Office in Cheyenne (permits for scientific uses). Permits for scientific research are given only to individuals who hold advanced university degrees in archaeology, paleontology, or a related field, and are associated with an accredited institution.

Reporting archaeological or fossil sites

All archaeological or paleontological sites, such as prehistoric campsites, buffalo jumps and fossil sites (of any kind) may be of scientific interest. The sites should be reported to the nearest BLM field office for evaluation by archaeologists or paleontologists.

How about gemstones?

Semi-precious gemstones are used in jewelry-making and decorative arts. They are usually rocks that can be faceted or polished and are able to hold a shine. The private collector is welcome to take reasonable amounts of gemstone specimens, as well as common variety minerals from public lands for personal use only. However, a permit must be obtained from the BLM field office if common variety minerals are to be taken in large quantities or for resale.

“Locating” Gemstones

Claims may be “located” for gemstones under the general mining laws if location requirements can be met. Collecting gemstone specimens on public land remains an accepted recreational use of the public land, however...

Don’t be a “Claim Jumper”

Care must be taken not to violate the rights of a mining claimant. Patented claims are private land and permission to collect specimens on them must be obtained from the property owner. Unpatented claims, however, are still public lands and rockhounders may pursue their hobby on such lands as long as they do not interfere with mining activities or collect locatable minerals or gemstones for which the claim is located. In other words, if an unpatented claim is located for jade, rockhounders can look for and collect any mineral except jade. The claimant is entitled to the rights to the jade which is, for all practical purposes, their private property. Claimants frequently locate claims for all locatable minerals, in which case rockhounders may not collect any minerals. A claim owner may not legally charge fees for recreational use of unpatented claims. For details on patented and unpatented claims on public land, visit the closest BLM field office.

BLM Wyoming Requirements for Locating andMaintaining Unpatented Mining Claims

Telephone: 307-775-6256FAX: 307-775-6129

www.blm.gov/wyoming

DETERMINING LAND STATUSAnyone wanting to locate mining claims must determine if the land they wish to claim is open to location under the mining laws. Visit the local BLM Field Office, or the BLM State Office, and check maps, Master Title Plates, and mining claim records. Mining claim information may be obtained from both the BLM State Office and County Recorders Office. Information on the status of federally owned land in Wyoming may be obtained from the official public land records on file at the BLM Wyoming State Office in Cheyenne.

BLM has no jurisdiction over matters concerning ownership of claims that are top filed over existing claims. Overstaking issues will be determined through civil court actions between rival claimants.

Mining claims located on land that is not open to mineral location are null and void from the beginning, and trespass action may be brought against the claimant.

LOCATING (STAKING) CLAIMSPost the location notice in a conspicuous place at the point of discovery of locatable minerals as soon as a discovery is made.

Placer claims are monumented at each claim corner to mark the location distinctly on the ground. The maximum size of a placer claim is 20 acres per individual claimant (up to 160 acres).

Lode claims have six (6) monuments, one at each claim corner and in the center of the side lines. Lode claims are limited to 1500 feet in length and 600 feet in width, 300 feet on either side of the centerline.

RECORDING CLAIMS OR SITESLodes, placers and sites are to be recorded in the County Clerks Office where they are located within 90 days of the date of location. A county recording fee is required.

Both lode and placer mining claims must be filed with the BLM State Office within 90 days of the date of location.

All new mining claims and sites being recorded must be accompanied by a $37.00 location fee, a $155.00 maintenance fee (to cover the assessment year of location), and a $20.00 processing fee.

Claims not timely filed with the BLM are rejected and void.

WYNF-0008 (5/18)Page 2 of 2

FILING MAINTENANCE FEE OR NOTICE OF INTENT TO HOLD CLAIMSClaimants holding 10 or fewer claims nationwide may qualify for the small miners waiver. The waiver form must be received on or before September 1st each year. Once a claimant has qualified for the waiver, they must perform assessment work on the claim(s). An assessment document and a $10.00 per claim filing fee must be recorded with the BLM State office on or before December 30th each year.

The $155.00 maintenance fee per claim or site must be received by the BLM State Office on or before September 1st of each year.

Any claim or site that has not received the $155.00 maintenance fee, a waiver form and assessment document to complete the waiver filing will be forfeited and will be closed.

When a deferment of assessment is filed, a notice of intent to hold the claim must be filed at the same time. There is a $100.00 filing fee for the deferment and a $10.00 per claim filing fee for the notice of intent to hold the claims.

The maintenance fee document, small miners waiver form and assessment affidavits must be recorded in the County Recorders Office. A county recording fee is required.

TRANSFERRING MINING CLAIMSTransfers of mining claims and sites (all or part) must be recorded with the BLM State Office within 60 days from the date of transfer of ownership. Transfer documents require a $10.00 per claim or site processing fee per person receiving interest in the claim or site.

AMENDED MINING CLAIMSAmendments are filed when correcting information on the original location certificate. See 43 CFR 3830 regulations pertaining to amendments for specific information that may be amended. The amendment must be filed in the county and recorded with the BLM State Office within 90 days from the date of recording. Amendments require a $10.00 per claim or site processing fee.

ABANDONING OR RELINQUISHING MINING CLAIMSAlthough not required, notification to the BLM of abandoned or relinquished claims would be appreciated. Such notification should include the BLM serial number. No filing fee is required.

MINING CLAIMS LOCATED ON SPLIT ESTATE LANDSOn April 16, 1993, Congress amended the Stock Raising Homestead Act. New requirements must be met before mining claims can be located on split estate lands. Split estate lands are those lands where the surface has been patented and the minerals were reserved to the United States under the Stock Raising Homestead Act of 1916. Claimants must record with BLM and the surface owner a Notice of Intent to Locate (NOITL) Mining Claims with the BLM State Office before entering the land or locating mining claims. No mineral exploration or location of mining claims can take place until a NOITL is recorded. Once all the NOITL requirements are met the land is segregated for 90 days for exploration and location of mining claims. There is a $30.00 nonrefundable service charge for recording a NOITL with the BLM State Office.

Surface Management Maps

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has a Surface Management and a Surface/Mineral Management series of maps available for the state of Wyoming. The maps are a scale of 1:100,000 and cover an area approximately 30 x 50 miles. The maps are color-coded to show land status (Federal, state or private ownership). These maps do not show private land owner names. Other features on the maps are roads, topographic contour and elevation symbols, rivers, streams and lakes. The Surface/Mineral Management maps also show mineral ownership shading.

These maps are available at any Wyoming BLM office for a fee of $4.00 each.Map orders can also be placed over the phone or via email using VISA, MASTER CARD, DISCOVER or AMERICAN EXPRESS. Call (307) 775-6256 or email [email protected] to place your order. Please be prepared to indicate the name and series your desired maps. See page 2 of this form for a list of map names. Most maps are available in both Surface Management and Surface/Mineral Management series.

NOTE: These maps are designed and published as a planning and management tool. They are prepared from the best available information. The user is cautioned against the use of the ownership information shown on the maps of a specific tract of land for anything except casual use. The official land records in appropriate offices of the Bureau of Land Management should be checked for accurate and up-to-date status on any specific tract of land.
