Recent Member Finds

The Gold Prospectors Association of America (GPAA) was founded in 1968 by a group of dedicated miners who sought to support small-scale prospectors in gaining and maintaining access to public lands. They aimed to provide education on gold prospecting techniques, encouraging enthusiasts to pursue their hobby with greater knowledge and efficiency. Over the years, the GPAA has grown significantly, evolving into a nationwide prospecting organization.

Through its expansion, the GPAA has remained committed to promoting responsible mining practices and preserving public lands for recreational prospecting. The association offers its members exclusive resources, such as access to mining claims, equipment discounts, and educational materials, helping them to enhance their prospecting experience. By hosting events and outings, the GPAA provides ample opportunities for members to network with fellow gold enthusiasts, share techniques, and learn from experienced miners.

As a result, the GPAA continues to play a vital role in preserving the rich tradition of gold prospecting in America.

GPAA Newbie

I recently bought a membership to GPAA, the whole experience was easy. I even had a mixup that Tamera in customer service caught and helped me out with. I'm definitely looking forward to working with GPAA for my next mining season.

Gold fever!

Wonderful information on searching for gold.

Gold is at an all time high - start finding yours today

The price above represents this much gold. Your membership could easily pay for itself and then some.

"But it's not so much about having the gold, as it is about finding the gold."
