Contact your city/state's department of natural resources office and tell them what you want to do, most likely they will be able to direct you to the information you need.. Google would probably work too. Generally though, if you intend to collect from private propery all you'll need is permission from the land owner, but it's always a good idea to check with your local government before you dig anything regardless of what/where it is.
