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.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how many gold flakes were in the training bag. It was a good representation of what you might find in the wild. Tons of mica to fool you, heavy sands to cover the good stuff up and a little black sand. I didn't classify what was in the bag as I wanted to see how it panned right out of the bag. Thank you for including the bag in my renewal.
