[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 648206, member: 4728"] Even as an amateur hobby as most of us pursue prospecting, we are entitled to have an academic interest in adding to the knowledge base of science and an amount of satisfaction should we be lucky enough to discover something out of the usual. The catch 22 regarding keeping a secret is how do you know that you have found something valuable enough to warrant keeping a secret unless you have it identified. If you already know it is valuable why would you need it identified, just keep the secret. Privacy laws are also applicable in dealings with Museum staff. [/QUOTE]
