Other GPAA members in metro area

[Gary_l]

Just curious to see if there are other gpaa members in the metro area? I know the gpaa has its chapter section but seems as not many post from Minnesota there. The 2 Minnesota chapters are in sotheastern MN or Sauk Rapids, MN. Figure if there is a few of us in the Metro maybe look to start a local chapter? any interested?

I'm not a member but had to look up what you were talking about and was interested in whether you guys actually find any here in MN. I'm down in SE MN a lot and was wondering if the streams and creeks down there have any thing in them. I have the equipment from when I lived in WA and would probably check it out this year if it was worth my time.

Ive never panned in minnesota..........there is a HSOforum for where to go and what you can use in minnesota. Was just seeing if there were any local members, me and the wife are planning to head to Colorado this summer (picking up a 4" dredge).

I used to be a member but have let it lapse. Yes, there is gold in Minnesota. Many of the SE MN streams have it. I have done my prospecting in NE MN and haven't found enough to get rich, but have found some. Check laws before you dig - Minnesota is quite conservative compared to many of the states out west.

Wait.. I meant to say here is some MN fools gold. There are some tiny flakes of gold but most of that is pyrite. Almost struck it rich.. ha

If I lived closer to the Metro I would join....
