The Arizona Association of Gold Prospectors Phoenix chapter meets on the fourth Tuesday of every month. The meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and usually last until 9:00 p.m. The meetings are held at the Denny's Restaurant located on the Northwest corner of the intersection of I-17 and Dunlap Ave. Meetings are open to members and also prospective new club members and include discussions on a variety of GOLD prospecting and related topics from equipment, techniques, geology, hot spots to find GOLD, local related GOLD prospecting events, to governmental mining and prospecting laws. It's always a friendly forum for those who are serious about GOLD prospecting and want to find out what's hot and what's not.
At each monthly meeting we are currently presenting a lecture series on minerals and gemstones to help everyone become more educated about what can be found out on the claims and to increase your knowledge of same. A free sample of the mineral or gemstone being discussed is handed out in a small zip-lock bag to all members and participants pending numbers and availability. Previous lectures include Pyrite, Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Peridot. Attending the meetings often can give you your own mineral and gemstone collection!
Please note, if you wish to attend the meeting you must reserve a spot by the Friday preceeding the meeting or you will not be able to attend the meeting.
