Arizona BLM collecting basics

Ordinary Arizona BLM still starts from federal casual use: personal, hand tools, no sale, typical 25/250 cap — then you subtract parks, monuments, tribal land, military land, and state trust land.

Arizona state trust parcels are closer to Utah SITLA than to BLM. A “public desert” photo is not permission.

Same checklist

  1. Owner / agency layer
  2. Monuments, ACECs, wilderness
  3. National parks: no
  4. Vertebrate fossils and artifacts: no
  5. Paid digs and private ranches: pay or stay out

No pin lists on this page. Status first. Local BLM field office when you are unsure.

Informational only. Confirm current Arizona BLM and state-trust rules for the parcel.
