    Hello and welcome to the GPAA. not sure where you live, but check and see if there are GPAA chapter/chapters in your state. They are a great place to learn from experienced prospectors, and make new friends.

    Check out this map and see if there's one near you, http://www.goldprospectors.org/Chapters

    As was said, the local chapters are a wealth of information, and the members are usually more than willing to help out the new folks.  There are no dues to be a member of a chapter, but eventually you might end up joing GPAA once you get involved.  You might also check with your local Chamber of Commerce and see if they know of a local club or group.  If you have a mining store or even a BLM/USFS office in the area, check with the mineral person there, they would usually know of any groups as well.

    Welcome and good luck.  If you are in our area, you are always welcome at our meetings.  (centralWillamette Valley Oregon)

    Welcome, and what is your location?

    The reason I ask is because I joined the GPAA prior to leaving Texas knowing I was heading to the Rockies, once I got here the true learning started and with the help of my Chapter. Trying to give advice not knowing your situation is like giving a blind man a fork to eat and not telling them where the food is.
