Gold Prospectors Association of America

Nice sniffer, you also get a small zipper pouch to hold the tweezers and vial. I added a second larger vial. everything but the snuffer fit in the pouch. Makes a great stocking stuffer or small gift!

This is definitely a starter bag. You will get gold, just be prepared, you won’t be able to retire. I ran it through the kreeger sluice, where I got 99% of the gold. I dried the sands out again and used a4step golden rule classifier. I missed one very small picker and 5 fly poops. I didn’t weight it. Sorry! But you should get about a 70-85% ROI. Which is standard. Have fun!

Free gold!! Thanks GPAA!!

Absolutely love being a member.
There are a lot of perts being a gold digger.

Really enjoyed panning out this paydirt. Found a pretty decent amount, and got to improve my panning skills.

Glad to have joined. Can’t wait til next spring when I can go explore the claims closest to me! The guide has lots of great info, and the gold pan is of good quality. Here’s to heavy pans!

I bought the training bag of pay dirt just for fun for my kids. I was surprised at the good little amount in the bag and it wasn't a bunch you had to use a magnifying glass to see.

The book comes in handy for finding the gold around the USA. Assorted videos are available to help you find the gold and how to get the placer gold out of the stream beds. Overall great club. We have meetings every month and various outings, so you're not alone and people will guide.

Gold panning at its best!! Thanks again GPAA!!

I recently renewed my membership with the Gold Prospectors Association of America and couldn’t be happier with the decision.

One of the absolute highlights has been getting connected with the Buckeye Chapter. We were incredibly lucky to meet such an amazing group of people. From day one, they were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about gold prospecting. The camaraderie, willingness to help, and shared excitement made the experience unforgettable.

GPAA is so much more than access to claims. It’s a community. If you’re even remotely interested in prospecting, learning, and meeting great people along the way, this organization is worth every penny. Proud to be a member and looking forward to many more adventures.

Highly recommend joining.

Great opportunity

Good amount of gold in the bag I got. My first look at panning.

These bags are great for honing your skills and keeping them sharp when you can’t get out to a claim for a while.

I like everything about them.

New member cards made it ingood time.
