Do I need a permit to use a UV flashlight for rock hunting?

Using a UV flashlight for rock hunting is generally allowed without a specific permit in most areas, but regulations can vary based on the type of land you're on:

1. **Federal Lands**:
   - **Bureau of Land Management (BLM)** and **U.S. Forest Service (USFS)** lands typically allow recreational rock hunting for personal use without permits, though there may be restrictions on methods, quantities, and locations.
   - **National Park Service (NPS)** lands generally prohibit rock collecting, with very limited exceptions for scientific research or specific Alaska park units.

2. **State and Local Lands**:
   - Regulations vary by state and local park. Some state parks allow rock collecting, while others do not. It's best to check with local authorities or land management agencies for specific rules.

3. **Private Lands**:
   - You must have permission from the landowner to collect rocks on private property, regardless of the tools used.

The use of a UV flashlight itself isn't typically regulated, but the act of collecting rocks may be. Always check the specific regulations for the area you plan to visit before using a UV flashlight for rock hunting.
