Gold Prospectors Association of America(GPAA)
If your idea of investing in gold involves a gold pan, a cool crystal creek, a make-shift shelter, and basking in mother nature's forests and deserts, Then the Gold Prospector Magazine is for you! The GPAA home page lists news and events.

World Wide Association of Treasure Seekers WWATS Our Mission Statement: Preserve, Promote and Protect the right to the use of the Land and Natural Resources for “We the People” now and in the future.

Public Lands for the People (PLP)
PLP was constructed for the purpose of representing all outdoor user groups and individuals that are interested in keeping public and private lands open to prospecting, mining, and outdoor recreation on a non-discriminatory basis! PLP assists groups to join forces to maintain the laws and rights of all citizens on public and private lands (Federal, State and City). PLP will assist with representation at public hearings of government agencies that are proposing limitations and restrictions on the lands that belong to the people. PLP DOES LITIGATE! We will file injunctions, when necessary, to prevent governmental agencies from discussing public issues behind closed doors and calling them “personnel meetings”. We will come to the aid of, and give individual attention to, persons or groups who are being harassed, intimidated or mislead by people in authority (in or out of uniform) who are attempting to enforce their own ideas or opinions of laws, rules or regulations, rather than the actual laws, rules or regulations, and what it actually means.

Remember.... PUBLIC LANDS FOR THE PEOPLE Means.... Our right to Use Public Lands, Not to Abuse Public Lands.
