Happy to be back. I was a member in the early 90s and with the rise of gold prices my fever has returned. With GPAA at my side to point me to the gold I am looking forward to many adventures and that flash in my pan!
It was free so anything going was better then nothing.
I enjoy very much the claims, meeting people in the chapters, and learning the ropes. With all things worth doing, community is important, so joining doesnt just give you claims to hunt, but the opportunity to connect with other like minded people. It is without question a great way to enter this hobby/passion.
So far I've received 2 bags from the lucky nugget bags and i had fun getting the gold out . There are some really cool looking pices of gold always looking forward to the next bag.lol I can't wait to get out there and work in the field. I went out for 6 hrs in a michigan river learning to read the river I found 6 specks of gold just learning to read the rivers better.Thank You.
Everyone in the LDMA was very helpful and very pleasant to work with. Looking forward to spending time at the camp grounds, and finding some gold.
It’s great it’s relaxing it’s fun for the family and the great outdoor activities and rewarding
I found it! I have been looking for an organization or club to help further my prospecting goals and I found a local chapter of the GPAA and also was excited about joining the big GPAA and plan on attending all the training I can get and looking forward to playing on the GPAA claims around the west.
Nice to find this club!
Really enjoyed doing the Paydirt was a lot of fun for me. My great granddaughter enjoyed it also thank you.
Wanted to get into a hobby that may reward me for being outdoors. Looking forward to getting out. Starter pack was a great beginning.
Keep up the good work
Love this pay dirt
.10 grams of large flakes. Loved this dirt enough that I became a GPAA member.
I believe this is my fourth year so happy to be a part of a wonderful association aiming for that ounce this year
I really enjoyed reading everything and the quality of the paper. I just wish the tracking was updated as it shipped
I love this sweatshirt. Light enough for a fall or spring day. Very well made.
