Just wondering about anyone being local to Dallas/Fort Worth area. I have noticed that there were no chapters listed for this area with the closest in Granbury and Greenville. Should there be substantial membership in this area could there be a new chapter formed.

Hello, I am in the DFW area but I am a member of the Round Rock GPAA. Its a very active club and most of the gold in Texas is in the Llano river anyway. Check out the Round Rock website or Facebook for more info. |

Thanks Gary. I made a trip up to the K River in OK earlier this year, and it was a nice little trip. So far this year the most gold I have found is here in Dallas in a parking lot.😊

Hello all. I know this is a bit of an old thread but I just stumbled accross it. I'm a new member located in Joshua TX. I've been looking at joining the Round Rock chapter. Just not sure I want to make that two hour drive for the meetings. But as stated above it looks like a pretty active chapter so I think it's worth a shot.

Daniel, it is what it is. I drive the 3 hours to the meeting in Round Rock not every month but at least quarterly because they have good people having a good family oriented time. They have a large membership covering a large area. The RR GPAA also have very good outings and draw people from all over Texas. I often try to combine the meeting with a trip to the Llano River at "The Slab" in Kingsland. The gold is elusive and generally very small flour like particles that really put meaning to the term "color" but I enjoy going even if I do not find gold. I often find relics and unusual rocks. Last trip I found handfuls of very good purple quartz. Normally I do not find any or one or two pieces at most. Every trip is different.

I live in Fort Worth area near North Crowley high school. I do go to the meetings in Granbury and they do attend and run some of the gold prospecting shows. Haven't been to very many meetings because they have them on sunday, and i have schedule conflict. It might be nice to have a closer meeting point but Dallas would be about the same driving distance for me. I'm a LDMA & GPAA life time member, and will be going to the Vein Mountain outing in late Sept early October.

Montgomery, Tx here. I have not been out in the field yet, nor to a chapter meeting (Covid.) I have a small amount of pay dirt and have panned it many times over, each time tossing the found gold back in the con. Learning curve is not as steep as I imagined. My present focus is distinguishing gold from mica and pyrite. Local assistance would help, if I could find someone near the North Houston area. As soon as Round Rock has another meeting I'm gonna try and make it.
Mark
