PROSPECTING IN VIRGINIA


Please keep in mind that with a few exceptions,
most gold bearing areas in Virginia are located
on Private Property!

We do not want to create a bad image of recreational prospectors in
Virginia not to mention the fact of having to face a judge for
Trespassing charges! ALWAYS get permission from the property
owner BEFORE starting your prospecting activities on private
property!

                                 Also, if you have a place that you have                      
                                  permission to prospect on, PLEASE show your         
                                  appreciation to the property owner by not                
                                 "trashing" his place. Remember, if you bring it          
                                  in (bottles, soda cans, paper bags, etc.) take it         
                                  out.

Leave the property in the same if not better condition than when you
first came there. Then, for sure, you'll be welcome to come back.
