How to find Gatesville Indiana ---->> Map Page
We meet at the store in Gatesville at the crossroads of North Saltcreek Rd and Gatesville Rd
To call Gatesville a small town is not really fair to small towns. Gatesville is more of a tiny town, well its really just a
store a firehouse and some houses with Saltcreek
running thru it, but Saltcreek has gold even if it is glacier gold.

Welcome to the Southern Indiana GPAA website ,See you next Season
Come on down to Gatesville Indiana and get yourself some gold
There are more places in Indiana then Brown County and Salt Creek to find gold.
Ask around and you may find more
If you are new to prospecting please check out one of Indiana's local clubs.
They are free to join and will be happy to help you out and get you started right.
You may also make some new friends along the way.
It really is more then putting dirt in a pan and shaking it around.
We have 3 clubs in Indiana right now and maybe more on the way.
Check out our links to the other chapters.
For most of us this is just a hobby and a way to get out of the house and into the creek.
There are a few guys making money prospecting (in Indiana) but not me.
They work alot harder at it then I do, hobbys should be fun not work.
But its a great hobby and alot of fun for the family.
We are a local chapter of the GPAA (gold prospectors) from Southern Indiana.
With gold prospecting being the fastest growing outdoor recreation in Indiana,
its important that the new people get started out right, we are here to help with
that. Everybody is always welcome to join our club
(its free to join local chapters) or drop by a meeting and ask questions...
we are happy to help.
All you need to do to become a member of the Southern Chapter is say
you want to..... how much easer could that be?
We have drawings at the meetings and give door prizes.
Every one is always welcome to drop by a meeting and check it out or just say Hi.
All local chapters are always free to join
That's the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Yes it was cool. And windy
Is this to big for a gold vial?
these guys never came to the meeting
but were still having fun in the creek
The weather was cool and
the wind was blowing,
But that never stopped
anyone for getting a little
gold.
It was a great spring day
to be outdoors
We also had some fine folks from the Illinois gold club swing by and say Hi
Thanks got coming by and you come back soon. Be safe getting home
and maybe we will see you in August at the GPAA show.
It looks like winter may be over at last.....
That calls for a dance
