AAGP members are assured that there will always be plenty of fun and excitement to be had, prospecting to do, and GOLD to be found.
AAGP members prospect and mine on some of the best mining claims in the "golden triangle" of Arizona with the majority only 1 to 2 hours drive of northern Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Mesa and even Tucson! We are also the only GOLD prospecting club in Arizona to offer it's members year-round daily access to a commercial placer GOLD mining operation! The commercial placer mining operation is located in the shadow of Red Picacho Volcano in the junction of the Wickenburg and Hieroglyphic mountains near Wickenburg and Morristown. Other clubs may offer a week-long access to a trommel operation, but it is usually only during the summer for 1-6 weeks and at an additional $2,500 - $4,000 investment per week above and beyond your membership dues! Both are wonderful, fun opportunities, but you have to ask yourself, how much is the other club's membership really costing you for the activities you really want to be able to enjoy? AAGP members enjoy great opportunities year-round at a commercial placer Gold mining operation! If you are interested in buying placer GOLD we can give you the information on the where and what so you can buy the most for the least. We even offer Professional GOLD prospecting lessons and adventures for those who would like to experience the thrill of the (G)Old West and finding GOLD in Arizona.
