I'm going to guess that you're fairly new to detecting due to the fact that you're asking that question here in the first place. You'll not get a definitive answer from the BLM or any other government office. If you call and the person on the other end of the line says yes, then you can bet the field officer that finds you out there will say you can't. Same goes for asking the city parks department, forest service, etc. Sometimes its better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission. Private property - get the owners permission before hand.
My copy of the "Desert Training Center" California - Arizona Maneuver Area Interpretive Plan From the Department of the Interior BLM says about Camp Ibis:
Camps Young, Coxcomb, Granite, Iron Mountain, Clipper and Ibis will be closed to artifact collecting. This will protect the few remaining surface items by eliminating digging which is visually impairing Blah Blah Blah.

Tom, for future reference....I have been detecting for about 20 years. Have also detected on BLM land many times. As far as camp Ibis is concerned I am well aware of its history as I have hunted around Goffs and nearby Ibis several times. My wife and I visited camp Ibis a month or so ago. It is a very interesting site. Sorry you took offense because I posted my question on this forum. I thought that's what forums were for. To pass on and get information. Happy Hunting

When you start with a whole 9 words question an nothing else, well, you get the answer you get, next time introduce yourself, some history etc. As far as Tom taking "offense" I read everything several times and I don't see where Tom took offense, I see where you did at the end, and if you had the experience and had been there, then you would also be capable of finding the answer to your question. "To pass on and get information." is absolutely true, but you weren't looking for information, your second post said you checked different BLM sites that told you it was ok to hunt those sites, so you merely wanted someone else to tell you it's ok. The problem with forums aside from the occasional emoji, it's hard to tell how a person is conversing, no voice inflection, no body language, no emotion etc, so what looks like a verbal thrashing is in fact NOT. So, let me say, welcome aboard, let us know what you find out when if you detect there, maybe things have changed.

Tom Why isn't this the place to ask this is about metal detecting Isn't it.No it's closed to detecting. A public forum like this isn't really the place to ask.

Note: You cannot use a metal detector in national parks, state parks, or wilderness areas. Always get permission to prospect on private property. Most BLM land is open for prospecting, if it has not been placed in a protected status. To be safe, check with the local rangers when in doubt .
