IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO ALL

Digging/prospecting on any registered claim without permission of the claim owner is illegal and may subject a violator to arrest and prosection.

You MUST be a CURRENT BHPC member to prospect on BHPC claims.

NO BADGE NO DIGGING!

FAIR WARNING !

If You are not a current BHPC member and are caught prospecting on a private BHPC claim you will be arrested for mineral trespass! We have been working close with the Forrest Service, DNR, and local law enforcement to prospect according to the laws. Law enforcement is sent a monthly update of members that are allowed on the claims, if you are not on the list you will be detained and/or arrested.

Mission Statement

We will strive to cooperate with local community organizations, State, Federal, and local governing authorities to promote prospecting in an environmentally responsible manner, and will educate the youth of the community to prospect accordingly.
