question

[wwwtimmcp]

a website says it is legal to treasure hunt in new mexico but you must inform the blm of where so they can asses the area. I emailed the blm with my request but they say it is illegal to treasure hunt not only on blm land but national forest land as well.

does anyone know what the laws are regarding treasure hunting in new mexico ?

I know wyoming allows treasure hunting as long as it does not affect existing structures and previous claims.

Well...If you want to hunt treasure in New Mexico on BLM or National Forest land, etc. , just don't tell anybody that you are hunting for treasure. Oh, and IF you happen to find treasure
while you are out hiking or whatever.....DON'T tell anyone! If you are looking for someone to help you look...I am always available to help look for treasure!
