No more Permits!

[cloudwalker]

I have spent way more hours researching and obtaining Oregon mining permits that I have been prospecting lately. All I want to do is bring my family to Oregon and do a little panning and sluicing. How many agencies are trying to regulate the same thing? The folder I have full of regulations and permits weighs more than my pan.
I am finished trying to jump through hoops for something that is my right to do. Starting next Thursday, I will be in Southern Oregon mining. If anyone would like to join me, just send a PM.

I would have never guessed that California (where sluices aren't questioned) may be my sanctuary from the mining Nazis.

Congratulations, cloudwalker.

where in southern oregon? Yeah and there are way to many papers and gov., involved we know. Try owning a claim, thats a whole new subject in papers, i could wipe my ass for a year in all the papers i got.

I will be staying in Brookings. The current plan is to sample the rivers North to the Rouge and South to the Klamath in CA. I also plan on some beach mining near Brookings.
I have noticed how involved staking a claim is. I have my eye on a spot on the Winchuck River, but I'll have to see if it's worth it.

[justinburnett]

I'm going down on the 22nd, so I won't know if I'm getting into anything for a day or two after that. That's too bad, wouldn't have minded a visit or showing up to see what you were up to. Might actually get pushed back later depending on work. Hope you have a great time and find some good spots.
