GPAA Gold & Treasure Shows

It goes without saying that the pandemic of 2020 and 2021 had an insurmountable effect on public events across America, requiring all of us to take a step back in the interest of public health and safety. During this time millions of Americans sought sanctuary in the great outdoors, reconnecting with nature, exploring new hobbies, finding freedom and renewal of community – Our specialty! In fact, the GPAA and LDMA welcomed thousands of new members in the last 18 months! 

We invite you to join us for the return of the largest gold, treasure, rock and gem shows in the country! 

We are excited to offer our audiences the largest selection of gold prospecting, treasure hunting, metal detecting, rock hounding, gem, mineral, outdoor equipment, products, and services in each of our hosting locations. Pick up a pan for the first time or hone your skills at the Panning Zone, where we have skilled instructors to help you recover all the gold you can find and keep, for free. Stay for our Seminar Series where you’ll learn tips and tricks from top industry professionals and shorten your learning curve by decades. Of course at the end of the day there is the Major Prize Raffle, where tens of thousands of dollars in prizes are given away at each show. Whether you’re a family with kids or solo enthusiast, the GPAA Gold & Treasure Show is your one stop shop for all your treasure hunting needs!
