worthy 55 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I keep one so I don't run into any problems while I am collecting. The permits here in Florida are only $5 so it's a good idea to get one. It's my bone!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seldom Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Don't need one in Texas YET. But when you do not sure what I will do I like to stay under the radar.

micropterus101 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I just got permision to hunt on WA state DNR land. A tough permision to get in our state! I can hunt fossils and minerals in the capital forest area and from what I gather from the office I have it to myself for now. They were impressed with my research and stick to it attitude towards the Dnr regulations and asking permision. It is illegal to take anything from Dnr lands let alone dig. I also have permision from two logging companies that manage lands in WA state, mostly from site supervisors. It helps imensly to respect the companies lands and clean up the trash yours or not and stay out of there way. fossil crabs website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossil fury Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Don't need one in Texas YET. But when you do not sure what I will do I like to stay under the radar. Yeah! I never even heard of the permits till a few minutes ago and was wondering about Texas until I saw your post. We'll probably get on too, just to be safe. “There are no easy answers' but there are simple answers.

Shellseeker Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I paid the $5 for a Florida permit because the Lee County Fossil Club strongly recommends it. I always thought "What if I find that perfect Giant Beaver Incisor, Meg, Mastodon tooth and up rolls the fossil police asking for my permit" Was it worth $5 for piece of mind? Different question: I have a permit issued May 09. However, UNLIKE my friends permit, my came without the date filled in!!! and I certainly have not added a date -- it was their job to do that... These normally expire yearly!! Do I have an eternal permit!!! Maybe I can get the big bucks on eBay..

Angus Stydens Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I live in S.C., and since I don't dive, I have not bothered with the hobby license. However, I just finished the mine safety course (commonly referred to as "mensha") which gives me otherwise almost impossible accesss to the limestone and other quarries near where I live. There are other collectors who take a chance and trespass in the quarries, but I find it much easier to just follow the rules and not have to watch over my shoulder while I collect.

earthdog Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I carry my $5 Florida permit. The money goes to a good cause, and what's $5 ? You can't even buy a pack of cigarettes here for that. (thank God I don't smoke anymore though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsq Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 If in FL or SC I highly recommend getting the permit. In SC it covers artifacts, in FL you do not want to get stopped and found to have artifacts. It can get pretty stupid trying to argue that a piece of agate coral has natural concoidal fractures. In FL you can loose your vehicle for artifacts so take it serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisonJim Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) It is my lay-assumption that you don't need one on private property which also owns the mineral rights. ??? As to public lands (BLM/USFS/Colorado State), I'll wait until I find something worth having and then look into it. I like bison and if it is not fossilized, and if it does not have any archaeological stuff associated with it, then I figure it's like a deer or elk shed and I can take it. If I found anything else, like a fossilized bison skull or a dinosaur or whatnot, or a non-fossilized skull with archaeological association, then I would take photos, lawyer-up and hold the location hostage in return for museum-quality replicas. If it was a big, deal, I might also demand naming rights. I guess I'd probably buy a permit if I thought the money would go toward the resource. I buy hunting licenses for deer and elk whether I hunt or not. They are cheap and they fund a good thing.

32fordboy Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Here in Colorado, mineral rights don't have anything to do with fossils, luckily. At least from what I have read. The mineral rights to our property are owned by Burlington Northern. If we were to find fossils here, they could do nothing about it. www.nicksfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 When I lived in Florida, I never got the Florida Permit because, back then, you only needed it if collecting more than a 5 gallon bucket of vertebrates in a year. Yeah, if I'd lucked into a Mammoth skull I'd have been out of luck but, eh, hunting rivers kind of takes away that possibility. I see from the link that now a permit is required for collecting of any vertebrates <shark teeth and plants are still a free for all> so I guess next time I make it to Florida I'll spend the $5 for safeties sake.

tracer Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Can someone explain me what all a permit, permits? I should probably get one,,, a permit allows you to both carry a concealed weapon, and to act as your own attorney up to and including during your post-conviction sentencing.
