All claims can be proven legally and demonstrated at the location monument on the ground by the opals or in the recorders office within the legal time limits of months after staking the claim and still be legal. The BLM are getting better with publishing their records, but it used to take months for decisions. </p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" decoding="async" width="525" height="394" src="https://i0.wp.com/virginvalleyopal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/P1010858.jpg?resize=525%2C394&ssl=1" alt="" class="wp-image-45" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/virginvalleyopal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/P1010858-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/virginvalleyopal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/P1010858-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C225&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/virginvalleyopal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/P1010858-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C576&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/virginvalleyopal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/P1010858-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1152&ssl=1 1536w, https://i0.wp.com/virginvalleyopal.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/P1010858-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1536&ssl=1 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">From the BrashearToni Fire Opal Mine</figcaption></figure> <p> You can afford a precious opal & petrified wood without any limits claim, no one can buy the deeded land title in this Wildlife Refuge from the FWS, only the rights, to dig opals out of and live on wilderness.
