NorthWest Gold Prospectors Association

NorthWest Gold Prospectors Association Everything you want to know about small scale mining, gold prospecting and recreational gold panning. Who we are! We would like to WELCOME you as a new member.

We are the NorthWest Gold Prospectors Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promote small scale mining, gold prospecting and the hobby of recreational gold panning. We organized February 1996 and are 400 members strong and growing by the month. We helped start a Clearwater Chapter in the Lewiston-Orofino Area. Please take time to review our Membership Application, Standing Rules and

Code of Ethics. We hold monthly meetings throughout the year and have monthly outings between May and October. We share knowledge and experience and have a great time in doing so. We have 12 claims that are open to the members and are actively pursuing the acquisition of additional claims. Some of our members open their personal claims to the membership. Eagle City Mining Company, Ltd. has made Eagle City Park available to us for our outings at no charge for day use. A fee of $20 per family is charged if you plan to camp overnight during the outing. The non-outing fee for Eagle City Park is $20 per family per day, $30 per family per weekend, $100 per family per week and $300 per family per month. Unless otherwise noted, the NorthWest Gold Prospectors meet at 7:00PM on the second Wednesday of each month at the Rathdrum Senior Center, located at 8037 West Montana Street, Rathdrum, Idaho (SW corner of Montana Street & Hwy 41). Refreshments are donated by the members and are served at the meetings. Exciting and informative programs are presented by members and guest speakers. From November thru March a group of us meet each Saturday morning at 8AM in the cafeteria at the Kootenai Medical Center to solve the problems of the world. Bring your spouse and enjoy breakfast with us. The members bring and donate items for our raffles. Items range from a can of beans to gold nuggets. Raffle tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. Every person who signs in at the door will be given a ticket for our door prize drawing. Outings are held at Eagle City Park the weekend following the monthly meetings between May and October unless otherwise announced at the meeting and in the Nugget News. A potluck dinner is held on Saturday afternoon at 4:00PM during the outing. Bring your table service, beverage and a dish or two. You do not have to participate in the outing to attend the potluck. Annual Membership Fees: $20 Single, $25 Couple or $30 Family
