I have been a GPAA member for a long long time with a little lapse between do to job placement. I'm retired now and prospect whenever I get the chance. GPAA provides like minded people and great locations also wonderful local chapters. I belong to the Snake River Chapter. Awesome group. I love it!

Good times
Been with the club 2 different times. First time joined back in 1992 and had so much fun. Moved to Illinois and after a few years let my membership lasp. But I moved to Oregon and joined back up for the awesome places to go. Thanks so much.

Fun times
I've been with the GPAA for quite a few years now. I go prospecting on my own or with family. Sometimes I find gold and a lot of time I don't.

Great club to join
I am new to metal detecting and gold prospecting. I went out a couple weeks ago on a GPAA claim (didn’t find anything) and the people I met gave me toons of advice.

Great Advantages
Renewing my membership has advantages, one I treasure is associating with other prospectors.
Thanks to my local chapter, I have grown in my knowledge of Prospecting.

Back in the day
I originally joined GPPA in the mid 70's. I was working at a truss yard and one of the mechanics was a friend with George Massie and was a member of the lost Dutchman association and GPPA. He would talk about claims he had in Montana. He got me to sign up to GPPA and we went off to the Cajon pass in the San Bernardino mountains. I had a 12 volt dry washer just shoved away. Didn't do it that long, they had brought a tub of water so you could learn to pan
I got enough gold to cover the bottom of my little jar. It was great fun. Doug use to write for the Gold Prospectors magazine under southern California digger doug
When gold prices went up he quit and went back to prospecting. One more thing I could of got my hard rock dynamite license for 50 dollars back then didn't do it to busy to young. John Hathaway
