    Today I was out looking around the Soldier Boy and Double JJ claims near Prescott, AZ and I ran across some Lode Claim markers within the Double JJ claim. I'm a total newb about this prospecting stuff but I am a seasoned long distance Thru Hiker and know my away around a GPS so... Is this normal that a number of lode claims can sit within the boundaries of a placer?

    Thanks for the clarification! I just assumed that the lode claims take precedence over the placer claim and just stayed off of them. If that's correct then the large number of the load claims makes that Double J placer claim's prospectable area very small and uninteresting.
