We know that many GPAA Local Chapters have shows/festivals/events so please post them on your Chapter profile here on the site so we can promote as well. If you need help, please call 800-551-9707 and ask for the chapters department.

Brandon, good lineup for 2015. Looking forward to seeing you and the gang at Sonora.

Hi Brandon;

Is PLP going to be invited to any of these shows since they were excluded from the shows this year.

Thanks,

Terry Moore

Terry,

 

PLP is always welcome at the shows. As a vendor they have always had an option of getting a booth. In the past we have even given them a complementary booth to sell memberships and raffle tickets.

 

Thanks,

Brandon

I spoke with Gene Glenn yesterday (7/23/2104) about the Gold & Treasure shows for 2015. He indicated the "eastern shows" would be in Charlotte, NC and Knoxville, TN. Your listing shows Atlanta, GA in place of Knoxville. Has there been a change?

Do Both, Do Both !!! Sorry, I enjoy getting together with everyone else and they are both about 5 hours drive from me.

PLP will be at the Sonora show this year.

I would like to see a Gold and Treasure show in the North East, would that be possible?  

 

I would also like to see a gold show somewhere in the North East.

Who else would like to see a Gold and Treasure Show in the North East? It has been a couple of years now since we had one in this area of the country, the last one was in Maine. I would like to see one in Albany NY, or Hartford Connecticut.

No Washington State? Bummer

As a chapter member and administer, I would personally love to see a gold Expo in New England! As a State Director, I have been trying to get together with other New England State Directors to try to work together and come up with a plan to try and put something together where ALL New England Chapters get to benefit from the Expo, possibly by alternating its locate from year to year, so that it is held in a different state each year. Whereas, the chapter(s), from each state would host it for that year, and another states chapters the following year, etc. etc. We could name it " The Great New England Gold & Treasure Expo"!
By holding it in different locations throughout New England, it would help to get the word out about our chapters and also help the chapters to grow and become more involved with their local communities. As well as educate the public about what we do, and teach the upcoming generation(s) the importance of prospecting as well as metal detecting, and how we also help to clean up our environment, while still going out and having fun.
If there are any State Directors, from the New England area, that would be interested in helping to organize such a show, please contact me at your convenience and let's see what we can do! Oh, GPAA Headquarters, you are also welcome to join in on this as well, as we could surely use your expertise and guidance in helping us to make our dream come true! You can all find my contact info listed in the GPAA magazines, and the Pick & shovel.

the Portland show is being done by the southwest Washington gold prospectors group out of Vancouver at the Portland expo center which will accommodate more people for the show

Whenever the dates are posted for the eastern shows I think my husband and I will be heading that way (GA,NC) for some prospecting for our honeymoon that would be a great additive to our trip!!

Hi Sheila - the eastern shows are posted and under "Events" for you to see the dates. We will be in Charlotte, NC on May 30/31 and in Knoxville, TN on June 6/7. Hope to see you there. Happy Honeymooning!

Awesome!! I will check that out! Thank you much. Cant wait to experience our first show. I will be in hog heaven...

Sheila - If you want to experience more than a show, we have GPAA/LDMA Outings at Vein Mountain, NC and Loud Mine, GA going on also at that time - check out the website for the dates as well. We had Honeymooners at the I-Bar Outing last week. They were only married two weeks prior and the had a blast at the outing. I will have to check but I believe according to the Miners creed of 1849, once you step foot on a LDMA camp property to prospect, you might have to go through another official marriage ceremony. HA HA!

Really that sounds perfect. I could defiantly have two ceremonies nothing permit till done while prospecting. #GOLDFEVER.. I love being apart of this community. Chris and I are planning in the works of moving our lives out west on the road with a camper. To maybe purchase a cheap claim with promise and live off the grid. We have been working on getting our equipment and practice up to par. I am wondering where I should post my inquiries for a Cheap camper for sale, and claims for purchase and what you need to do so.
We where thinking about going to Dahlonega, GA for prospecting do you know any good things about that area.

Happy Hunting Friends
