Search for Gold 2005 
    The Gold Prospectors Association of America held an outing for members and guests in northeast Georgia in May of 2005. My wife and I attended. There were about 400 friendly people and various activities in addition to gold panning. I worked two four hour shifts on the common dig while my wife took pictures, walked our dog, and relaxed. It was a peaceful and unhurried camping vacation with time for side trips to the gold museum in Dahlonega, the Crisson Gold Mine, and the Frogtown Cellars.

  Nuggets for the Sunday morning split. Not enough were found so more were added. Participants drew numbers for the largest, the next size, etc.  Small bags of black sand and fine gold from the outing were also handed out.
