Georgia Gold Prospectors Association
The Georgia Gold Prospectors Association has five areas within the state where members can use a metal detector to hunt for relics or gold. All of these areas have gated access. Reservations are not needed in order to hunt. Camping is also permitted on this land, so members can choose to spend an entire weekend hunting for treasure. Guests are permitted to accompany paid members, but can not use their own equipment. Visitors and members are expected to fill in all holes, not disturb trees and not dig in banks. The group operates a website with information on treasure hunting, panning for gold, Civil War relics and other related topics. There is also a discussion forum, chat room and newsletter.
