Hello all,
I am looking to do some gold prospecting around Oregon. So far ive found many locations with potential, however Im finding very little information on rules and regulations.
It seems that rules and regulations vary from location to location, and that fine. But where can I find the rules and regulations for a specific spot that I would like to prospect? In order to avoid fines, criminal issues, etc, it would be a good idea to learn first before going to play :P
For example, I would like to prospect on the South Umpqua. Parts of it have recreational panning sites, dredging was allowed in the past but no longer. Parts of the river allow you to run some kinds of pump, other parts of the river only allow 'hands and pans', and the exit of the river to the Pacific doesn't allow any kind of motorized devices, even a battery powered water pump.
So where can I find current rules, regulations, whatnot, on where I would like to prospect in Oregon?
