The only "leg work" for a mining claim is:
  1. Discovering a deposit of valuable minerals on land open to location.
  2. Staking and monumenting the location.
The discovery aspect is up to you to accomplish and is required by law before you stake your claim.

There are several companies that will stake and monument for you for a price. Most staking companies are going to charge you quite a bit on a per claim basis if you are just locating one or two claims.

The rest is just paperwork and mailing and can be accomplished from your home. There are companies that will do that for you too. All in all it's a fairly easy process in Arizona. :thumbsup:

I am familiar with the claiming process as I have had multiple claims on the Hasy...Im a disabled veteran and need help in the field establishing the monument and corners. Do you know of anyone that can help me? Thanks

There are professional staking services but they can be pretty expensive for just a few claims.

If you are near Wickenburg contact Bubba at D&T prospecting supplies. If he can't do it for you he may know someone local who can.
