Do you need to have a license or a stake on an area of land, or are there areas that casual prospectors can use in a more shared capacity?
Again, only speaking from the perspective provided by TV, but they all seem to have a stake, or claim, on certain plots and anyone else prospecting in that area is poaching.

As long as it's allowed by the government and there isn't an active (and posted) claim you can work just about anywhere. There is a river in Idaho that has claims pretty much over the whole entire river, but of course there's a lot of gold there!
