I always check the parcel data when I find an area of interest for either prospecting or metal detecting. I have noticed a few things that I am wondering about. Some land will say United States Forest Service, USFS, US GOVT., United States of America Government. Now, even when I compare a national forest and a wildlife/conservation/wilderness/etc. They all come back as USFS and not a name representing the more strict lands like conservation areas. But now, I'm looking at a big parcel of land that is United States Of America Government. I am assuming that it is some sort of federal land besides a national forest or the like. I'm curious as to if these are public lands. I have been reading that you can lease these federal lands and lease mineral rights, even in GA. Which is weird because GA doesnt have BLM Land. And lastly, another parcel name/issue i run into when looking up the data, is it comes back as "unknown". What exactly would these large tracts of "unknown" parcels be? Are they not private or government properties? Thanks in advance.
