It is illegal to dig for historical artifacts on state land without a permit.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

You cannot grab a shovel and start excavating arrowheads, pioneer relics, or old bottles from state-owned properties. To protect Native American heritage sites and the state's pioneer history, amateur archaeology is strictly forbidden on public lands. Removing even a single piece of historically significant debris can result in hefty fines and confiscation of equipment.
