About Northwest Georgia Chapter
Northwest Georgia Chapter, also known locally as SGMA (Buchanan Chapter), is the Gold Prospectors Association of America (GPAA) chapter serving northwest Georgia out of Buchanan in Haralson County. Led by President Kenneth Weathington, the roughly 48-member chapter meets monthly, March through November, at a leased prospecting claim near Tallapoosa for a day of hands-on gold prospecting followed by a potluck dinner, club business, and raffle. Chapter officers also include a vice president, treasurer, and secretary. The chapter operates primarily through its Facebook group, where members coordinate outings and share updates, and gives members access to GPAA's broader network of claims in addition to the local Buchanan lease.
