Hi everyone. I am new to the forum and I have a question that I can not find the answer to.
If someone is on the hunt for a legitimate buried/hidden even historical treasure ( sack of gold, coins or whatnot ) and this "find" is on a valid legal lode/placer claim, and he is carrying only a detector, is this considered claimjumping or illegal if no "natural" spoils whatsoever are sought or taken from the site?
I'm pretty sure the owner of the claim has legal rights to the minerals on the claim, ( and rightly so ) but are these rights extended exclusively for naturally occurring minerals on, or even originally from the property?
