Kevin, with over half a century of global experience, is a seasoned prospector and miner.

These events are open to all. Note that non-member pricing includes a basic GPAA Annual Membership.

Don’t forget your basics…. Bucket, pan, shovel, scoop, crevice tools or picks, classifier and a snuffer bottle. If you're looking for further education on using a sluice box or even a Gold Rush Nugget Bucket, head up to the Mining Equipment tab at gpaastore.com and stock up.

When registering for a Gold Trails event at an LDMA property, dry campsites are included with registration. *note: separate registration is still required for everyone in your rig who is participating in the event.

Absolutely, gold has no idea where it is and the force that moves it. Prospecting and then mining is truly about learning how to see, not look at the ground differently. The knowledge Kevin will be sharing has been used in his prospecting worldwide.
