The GPAA has announced the official GPAA Gold & Treasure Shows lineup for 2015: Pomona, Calif., Feb. 7-8; Mesa, Ariz., Feb. 28-March 1; Stockton, Calif., March 7-8; Portland, Ore., March 28-29; Boise, Idaho, April 11-12; Las Vegas, Nev., April 25-26; Denver, Colo., May 16-17; Charlotte, N.C., May 30-31 and Knoxville, Tenn., June 6-7.
GPAA Trade Show Manager Gene Glenn said next year's shows will be held in larger venues in major urban centers to make them more accessible and introduce more newcomers to the world of prospecting, "We're going to draw more people. It's going to be a better experience for attendees and for vendors as well. My hope for the 2015 shows is to not only to encourage more families to spend time in nature together, but to tie in gold prospecting with other outdoors activities such as fishing, camping, hiking, and off-roading," Glenn said.
The Gold & Treasure Shows are a one-stop shop for everything you need to go find your own gold.
"They are family events so the kids are going to want to come and get involved," Glenn said. "Bring the kids and let them pan for real gold and try metal detecting. There's really something for everybody no matter what your skill level — including newbies who don't know the first thing about gold or small-scale mining."
