Gold Prospecting in New Mexico

Welcome to New Mexico's first and oldest gold prospecting organization!

If you're looking for a fun, family oriented gold prospecting organization, then the Gold Prospectors Association of New Mexico may be for you. Here at GPANM, our members have access to numerous claims around the state, including some only 30 minutes from Albuquerque. Our mission is to allow our members access to profitable mining claims. We have monthly outings that focus on family fun, as well as providing helpful knowledge and tips on gold prospecting. We pride ourselves on being good stewards of the land and good neighbors to fellow claim and property owners. Come to our next meeting and join in the fun!

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Gold Prospectors Association of New Mexico will be conducting our monthly meetings, temporarily, at the Loma Del Rey Park (on the north side), in Albuquerque, on the 3rd Saturday of the month, starting at 10:00AM. See location details below.

We've all missed our home at the Los Griegos Community Center before Covid-19 and long for the day we can return. But until then we are excited to have the chance to invite and meet all the folks who have reached out and shown interest in our GPANM website.

Please remember to wear a mask when attending the meetings and adhere to all social distancing guidelines.

Join in the fun at our meetings!

Experience the excitement of meeting with a group of local prospectors who share the same passion of searching for gold in New Mexico.
