Has anyone used a drone to explore areas to prospect ? Is it legal on GPAA claims, BLM, Forest service land ?

As long as you are following FAA regs for drone use, and don't violate any temporary flight restrictions, such as fire or emergency closures of airspace, there aren't any issues with it over claims, BLM or USFS ground.

If you are using it for any kind of commercial purpose (including posting videos online) I think you need to register your drone and take an online drone test to get a license...
I do know that you can't pilot drones in national parks without specific special permits and exemptions...
Search on YouTube for "Drone Nightmare" and you should get something coming up about potential issues you will face. FAA can investigate you based on people reporting you
based on videos you have posted...
