You are 100% correct. Along with either the miners exemption or Maintenance fee you must also file assessment work with the BLM and also have that original paperwork recorded at the County recorders office......First part is due by Sept 1st and last part is due by Dec 30th.

When I started it was $240/OZ, but that is another story. The way I look at it is a Dollar is not always a Dollar. BUT an ounce of gold is ALWAYS an ounce of gold. So, yes I would. That being said, I don't get out looking for gold that much anymore but I certainly still deal with gold on a daily basis. Personally I like the price/stability around where it is these days......

Dry Blower

Very cool, I like it -
The miners in Brazil care not one thing about collecting gold or specimen value. Most gold found there by artisan miners rapidly ends up in a gold dealers hands. The first thing the dealer does is what you see in the video, dolly the quartz or iron stone out so the weight of the gold can be determined. I have witnessed this on my prospecting trips down there. It is also illegal to take raw gold out of the country as all found gold is supposed to end up in the government coffers. Its their brand of socialism where the government owns just about everything

Natural Green Jade With Gold

It was me that figured pyrite, so, maybe it's iron,but the golden color makes it confusing. Maybe the XRF machine does not have sulphur in it's database -
Natural Green Jade With Gold
El Dorado replied to 1515Art's topic in Rocks, Minerals, Gems & Geology
I took it into a shop I deal with today and had it put on thier XRF test rig. The inclusions are 99.75% iron...... pyrite for sure. I am going to have a wait and see if the polished surface I made shows oxidation before I work it. It sure polished up to a fantastic surface......... -
Natural Green Jade With Gold
El Dorado replied to 1515Art's topic in Rocks, Minerals, Gems & Geology
Clark, Thank you very much, this piece is now sitting on my workbench. I polished up one face and I must say, it is as spectacular as I hoped it would be. Next trip to town and I will take this to a partner who has an XRF testing machine and find out what is the makeup of the golden color material. Most likely it s a pyrite, but it does not look like any I have seen...... -
