E-Mail: tandmireland@gci.net
Meetings: Held the third Thursday of the week @ Sunrise Grill @ 3230 Old Seward Hwy @ 7:00 pm.
There are over 3000 G.P.A.A. members in the Anchorage Bowl area.  The expertise and interests of the GPAA'ers ranges from first-time beginners to experienced, professional miners.  The Anchorage Chapter of the G.P.A.A. was established with the idea of providing all these folks a chance to get together to have fun, make some new friends, teach, and work together to strengthen mining in Alaska.
A typical meeting provides a guest speaker, who may talk about how placer deposits are formed in nature, or what's the history of gold production in a particular area, or what the latest EPA, BLM, or State regulations and policy might do to mining in Alaska.  And of course, the meeting is a place to talk about the newest "hot spots", gold finds, latest equipment, and pick up tips on mining techniques.  There are several G.P.A.A. member-only claims right here in the Anchorage Bowl area, where you can prospect for and find gold!

The Gold Prospectors Club
We are a gold prospecting club with multiple gold claims in Alaska for members to dredge and pan for gold, keep what they find and share the experience and adventure with fellow prospectors.
The Gold Prospectors Club is for adventurous people who like the outdoors and would enjoy searching for gold in the great Alaska gold mining fields. We have rich gold claims on the creeks of Bonanza, Confederate Gulch, Butte, Discovery, and Millers. Our claims are located off a gravel road named the Steese Highway, also called Alaska Hwy 6. They are about 100 miles northeast of Fairbanks in the Circle Mining District. Our club is for those who can do and plan for themselves, experience Alaska at her best and return home
with the gold. This is not a planned or guided tour. You can drive up with your own camping and mining gear or if you want to fly up we can make special arrangements tailored to fit your individual needs. Space is limited and is filled on a first come, first served basis during the summer from the 15th of June thru the 15th of August. This is not a tourist camp.It is flat rock camping with no electricity and no indoor plumbing. However, we do have running water. We run down to the creek and get it by the bucket. If you like steak, eat your fill before leaving home. Spam, beans, soup, oatmeal, grits, hash, stew, and coffee keeps us going as we search for the gold. Come join us! Your reward will be all the gold you find and the Alaskan adventure of a lifetime! Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much!

Texarkana Chapter
 Our Chapter Meetings are held the first Saturday of each month at 1:00 PM on an outing in the summer and in the winter at the La Casa Rosa Restaurant in Texarkana at 12 Noon where we eat a wonderful meal, have our business meeting at 1:00 PM and then a Program followed by an exciting Raffle.
     Our Outing starts on Friday and runs through Sunday of the first weekend of the month. You can come and go as your schedule permits. The Outing Coordinator usually designates Saturdays as a Common Dig Operation, so everyone who works on the common dig shares equally on the cons from that operation. At 12 Noon on Saturday, we break from mining and have a cover dish dinner which everyone brings something to share. After that, we have our business meeting and raffle. Then back to mining. At the end of the day, we have the split for the day. Anything you do on your own on Friday or Sunday you keep.
