toleary34,
Although you are inticed into going where most of us would love to go, be aware that most of the areas you have mentioned are protected and digging or collecting there will land you in jail.
You are in one the areas where potting reached an artform that has yet to be surpassed. Just be careful where you collect and always get permission.

Bottom-line on potting in the US is unless you're an archeologist with a permit to dig, you'd better be on private property with the owner's permission.

I will definitely research the are to find out who owns it.  here in Utah ten miles down the dirt road that my cabin sits on is Nine Mile canyon...this is known as the longest art gallery the world because the forty miles of  from Indian tribes in the area, as well as carvings from the old Spanish trail.  there are ruins, granaries, and burial sights in and around this area. but my point is that, not too far from this area is a place called Range creek.  this place was kept a secret from the public by the land owner for years and years, and he just told the state about it a couple of years ago.  it is said to be one of the best Indian archaeological sights of our time with adobe cliff ruins, tons of pit houses, and untouched artifacts.

     When i got back from my third tour in Iraq and got out of the Marines i had to get away from society and got a hold of the Leader of this particular dig and was supposed to go with them to volunteer and help digging this stuff up, but i got bumped off because one of his students decided they wanted to take my slot.  i respect the Indian culture and people in general too much to just take what is rightfully theirs from their property...so I'll be sure to make sure that where i am is where i am supposed to be.  here is some links to nine mile canyon and range creek.  i suggest researching it a little on your own if it really interests you, because it is absolutely incredible stuff.  thank you all for such awesome input and advice

Thanks for the links some I have been aware of for some time. It's good to keep up with whats going on in the outside world. Outside of Texas that is.
Oh and thank you very much for supporting our country. We need more people who care.
Welcome home, are you here to stay now?

Too bad about being bumped. Those Archies have their own set of rules. But you got to do what you can if you want to be a part of the real effort to preserve.
I recently got to help out in the Dallas Zoo's effort in cleaning up their Savanna habitat with my metal detector. I did not get many pictures to post and the one's I did manage did not turn out very well.
Garrett will publish an article in their"Searcher" mag soon on the hunt and what we managed to dig out. Wire and bits of metal, just what they wanted to take out.
Take care and keep it comming.
You are not too far from some really good dino material. Ever think about that?

Yes in fact, i am a huge dinosaur enthusiast and research everything i can to find what i can.  i live right near fossil mountain that is chuck full of trilobite fossils.  i also am going to try and get into my cabin at the end of the month, however if the weather and roads don't allow it, I'll be heading to dinosaur national park in Vernal, Utah. it is an awesome historical area where Butch Cassidy and the wild bunch rode and stayed. tons of Indian petroglyphs, and of course the surrounding area is full of fossils and dinosaur bones, i go there for the heck of it every year.

     Everywhere i go i seek out history and dinosaur find areas.  i haven't found too much though.  i found a perfectly preserved tooth once on the river bank of the Jordan river in salt lake and took it to a paleontologist, he said it was in fact a tooth of a prehistoric Camel like animal.  i have some dinosaur crap (literally a petrified turd) as well as one of the stones that they used to swallow to smash up their food for digestion.  i have also researched quite a few sights where dinosaur foot prints have been found and plan to seek those out when i get int he areas that they are.  when i go out to explore somewhere i research everything from my starting point to wherever it is that i am planning on going, and check everything i can out....caves, mines, ghost towns, petroglyphs, Indian ruins; dinosaur sights, battlefields,outlaw trails, anything and everything.  i just recently posted pictures of my latest fossil finds.  anyway.....I'm rambling....i get excited when i talk about things I'm passionate about.  please keep me informed of everything and anything having to do with the subjects we've discussed, and good luck hunting
