Buckeye Chapter of the GPAA

Buckeye Chapter of the GPAA The Buckeye Chapter of the Gold Prospectors Association of America was formed in 1996. We welcome you to join us at one of our chapter meetings.

The Buckeye Chapter of the Gold Prospectors Association of America was founded in 1996 to provide a place for GPAA members to meet in Ohio. As an educational non profit organization, the BCGPAA travels to area trade shows and hosts various youth groups to provide guidance in gold prospecting.

On Friday, the Buckeye Chapter played host to Clearfork High School classes and students. They came on Thursday to record water speed, levels, and took samples. On Friday, our volunteers presented to them prospecting and geology in Ohio. Just a few photos of the days. Thanks to everyone who helped make this visit a success!

Hey gang. The entire area is under a severe thunderstorm watch until later this evening. Storms are starting to fire in NW Ohio, and will move SE as the evening progresses. Some of these storms, if they train long enough, will produce some very heavy rainfall. Keep an eye on the radar for the area just E of Galion (Blooming Grove), through the camp. That is the entire drainage basin for the Clearfork River. Heavy rainfall can bring the river up very quickly. The river is notorious for washing away equipment as well. Better be safe than sorry and do not leave equipment unatended.
