Find out the following.....Who owns the property? If it is claimed do you have permission to mine. If it is forest service land learn their rules. Try to stay legal and the gold is yours..

I would think that if you have been invited to a property then the rules will be set by whoever did the inviting.

The inviter owens the land

Panning and hand sluicing should be OK. If using power equipment check the rules..Art

1st off your in washington state so you go by the federal mining laws first,forest service ,Blm or state,then your fish and game regs, and criminal law follows.Something just doesn't ring true with your 1st statement followed by up owner invite?? Opposite info completely.If ya claim jump or go on someones private property thats criminal mineral tresspass and grand theft--you could be shot,sued,jailed or flat @ss disappear.John

Lets look at it this way: if I'm invited to have dinner and eat what is placed before me...then its mine.
