Chip like your first rodeo, the first claim you stake is not easy. There’s a learning curve that only you can navigate unless someone is willing to hold your hand.

Go go to the web site “Land Matters” to begin you venture. Mining Claims Maps

Read up on the process then ask specific questions.

Welcome and good prospecting Chip,
Mike

I made a post about this a while back. But just get aquatinted with township, range, section and quadrants, look up existing claims with the county to see maps, and go from there.

Learn Public Land Survey System first it will make LR2000 a lot easier, go to local BLM field office and the county recorder.

learn what you can, there is a learning curve takes time to learn the ins and outs,
might have someone help you the first time, there are also people that locate claims that also offer location services,
where they do the research, paper work for a place you have located.
some that have locating services don't advertise, but are really good like armadillo mining.

best book to read ---- Researching & Locating Mining Claims by Tom Kitchar

Marlene Affeld -- A Golden Legacy - Placer Gold Claims Explained,
-- Nice lady they might also have location services (Montana, Idaho)
