Where: New Mexico · approx. 32.76, -107.53 (vicinity only)

Access: Gray area.
Beds of navigable New Mexico rivers below the ordinary high-water mark are state-owned public trust land where removing historic artifacts is restricted; townsite and mining-claim ground is frequently private or patented and needs the owner's permission; large surrounding areas are federal (BLM or Forest Service) or tribal/pueblo land, where federal law bars disturbing sites over 100 years old without a permit and tribal or pueblo land requires separate permission. Confirm land status and get permits or landowner consent before collecting.
