Electrician Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The girl and I had a GPAA membership from 10+ years ago that we never used once, except the day we purchased it at one of those gold shows. I bought it for her after she caught the gold "sniffles" (cause it definitely wasn't the bug) while being taught to pan by Woody Wampler at the show. I wound up buying her a membership, pinpointer and detector, which is all still sitting in the closet. Now, I want to go out nugget hunting/prospecting/exploring and want to know which club to join, other than the GPAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJ Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The only thing 'wrong' with the GPAA, is if you 'let it sit in the closet'. Honestly, it's the best bang for the buck. But you have to put in the effort. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that they still do. https://www.roadrunnergold.com/ https://www.roadrunnergold.com/membership-information/ Edited June 11, 2019 by snakejim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 It depends on where your area of prospecting will be as well. Some clubs are region specific which can be good, and pricing is usually more affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedrock Bob Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I would recommend the Sierra Club or the Wild Earth Guardians. They have a lot better claims than the GPAA and you get a sweet backpack with a $50 membership. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
