Gold Prospecting In Arizona

Arizona Association of
Gold Prospectors

The premier recreational GOLD prospecting and mining club in Arizona, home of the Grand Canyon. If finding GOLD in Arizona is your desire, you will find we are an exciting and very active prospecting club that is dedicated to bringing fun, entertainment and education to the novice, intermediate, and advanced prospector through placer GOLD prospecting and mining activities for both the individual and family members. Each AAGP club chapter is dedicated to providing members with monthly meetings, prospecting and mining events such as outings and common digs, and great local claims to prospect on. If digging, panning, dredging, sluicing, highbanking, drywashing, NUGGET shooting or you simply enjoy outdoor sports then you need to check us out! 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. Through the Paydirt Mining Company you can now be one of the few lucky people to participate in an Arizona GOLD Mining Adventure. These exclusive opportunities are only available to prospectors through the AAGP! When you join a GOLD prospecting club, be sure it's the AAGP so you can start getting your share of the Gold!
