New lab-developed gold holds the same purity without all the weight. (Our latest update includes more photos from the Swiss lab responsible for the development!)

The GPAA digs deep into what's been found, what might still be out there, and where to find it in the Beaver State.

The GPAA takes a closer look at all the places prospectors and treasure hunters alike should go in the Evergreen State.

The GPAA’s 2019 West Coast Gold & Treasure Shows offer individuals or families a great opportunity to load up the car and have some of that memorable togetherness you only truly can get with a good road trip. The gold shows and the cities they’re located in offer loved ones the chance to experience everything a good vacation should have — tasty food, adventure, recreational activities, and a lot of time in the great outdoors.

If you have a week and a half available for travel, you can take in two shows, enjoy the open road and take in all the sightseeing along the way. If you have all month, you can take in all four shows, which fall along a linear path with plenty of sites, claims, and gold to see!
