Anyone who falls for the same deceit twice must accept responsibility for his own gullibility; thus, one should be more watchful the next time around. You must learn from this, so it does not happen again.

How many have been fooled over and over? Tricked, duped, conned, or just plain old hoodwinked? Of course, we don’t want to admit it — “I didn’t know it was happening!” Getting scammed and not even the slightest hint that it is happening? Yes, what a fool we can be.

The GPAA Gold & Treasure Show seminar series will not be one to miss for our Tucson 2018 shows. We are blessed to have Dr. Jan Rasmussen grace us with her presence and knowledge. She boasts an extremely accomplished career, as one of the top economic geologist in the western states and a mentor. 

Jan Rasmussen, formerly Jan Wilt, earned a Ph.D. in economic geology from the University of Arizona in 1993 under the direction of John Guilbert and Mary Poulton. She then went to work for Woodward-Clyde as a geochemist/stratigrapher/economic geologist on the Yucca Mountain project in Nevada. Jan’s work there was recently published in the 2015 Geological Society of Nevada symposium volume.
