I like it

I live in a part of the country where there are no gold prospecting areas nearby. And in the winter time it is no easy to get out and about. The GPAA monthly subscription is a great way to keep my panning skills sharp. The panning difficulty in my opinion is perfect for any beginner or those wanting to learn or improve their panning skills.
I have been a subscriber for 3 months and the gold recovery rate value has come in as advertised.
Right now I can buy a tenth of an ounce gold coin for 36% over the spot price including shipping. In my opinion the GPAA monthly subscription is a great way to accumulate gold, improve panning skill, and just enjoy the panning experience.
The GPAA monthly subscription is a good value to me. This is why I recommend the GPAA subscription to others!

I live in SoCal and there are at least 3 claims that are within a reasonable day trip range from me. I'm glad I'm a member so I can take advantage of these claims to get out and find some shiney!

well packaged, fast delivery, sizes are perfect

The 14" Gold Catcher Gold Pan with its 4 gold catching deep baffles and high sides is a dream to use and it grabs and holds on to the finest gold flakes. As most everyone knows, panning techniques differ from person to person but this pan works with any panning style...unless you're a gorilla...but I think even they can catch gold with this pan if they practice. Its called the "Gold Catcher Gold Pan" for a reason!!

GPAA is great to to be with nice places to get get to go to and have fun also to relax even if you don't get any gold the maps easy to read and get to the people that i have met are very nice and friendly

Great opportunity to support GPAA!!

Just like any hobbie, you need a guide and information to help you find your way. GPAA does just that.

The set arrived on time and everything was ready for use. The set was given as a gift to create excitement about starting to gold pan. Everyone is excited to get started. Thank you For a great starter set!

I seldom do auto renewals as I’ve felt ambushed in the past!
I get timely notification that my renewal is coming up with plenty of time to cancel if I have changed my mind!( which I won’t!!)

I have not had a chance to use the Drteam mat yet. I di have to modify my sluice so the Dreram Mat would fit my sluice. I had to lengthen my sluice. I did get the extensin made and mounted on my sluice. I think that the 10X36 Combo Dream Mat is going to work good. I am planning on going prospection in May. I hope it works good. I have not taken any pictures yet.

Well at 1st honestly, I thought a couple of very small flakes and some flower. But after I was done, wow. I was impressed, I got Rich, no for real it was more than expected. I’d highly recommend it, I also did a YouTube on the panning and final results.

Renewing our membership was extremely easy, and I was contacted making sure the delivery address for the magazine was still accurate.

How many of you have an interest in trying to hunt for gold but don’t know how to get started. You sit in front of the tv or computer wishing you were actually doing it but are hesitant because you think it’s too complicated. That was me and then I decided to pull the trigger and join the GPAA. My representative is a very nice lady named Anne . That’s right, a representative. She was extremely helpful answering all my questions and very knowledgeable recognizing the fact that I am a rookie. She explained how to use the vast amount of information in the guide booklet as well as the advantage of contacting various clubs all across the country. I’m very excited to get started on the adventure of gold hunting. Already have met some nice people that are willing to help teach me. Totally worth the membership!!!

So glad I finally joined up! Can't wait till spring arrives so I can go out to the claims and find me some shiny!!
