My wife got me a membership for Christmas. And I wanted to introduce myself. I’m located in West Virginia and I know that it’s been said there’s no gold in WV. But I find that hard to believe. Gold has been found in Ohio and in Virginia don’t see how it skipped WV. But anyway just wanted to introduce myself. Just ordered a Gold Bug Pro from Kellyco last night. Look forward to meeting some of you and finding gold. See ya around

So I’m from Maine and this is our off season. I’m brand new to the gpaa but have been prospecting for a few years now.

I noticed in my Gold Prospector magazine that Ole Miner & Seven-Dee in Park Co. Montana had recently received reviews. Logging into the mining Guide to check the reviews out , Park county doesn't seem to be listed. My Physical copy of my Mining Guide was stolen a while back so I'm not sure if it is listed,just not online. If anyone can help me out with coordinates or additional info on Park Co. That would be awesome Thanks
