Special Announcement
Placer Pete at Stanton Arizona
A Collaboration with the LDMA and The GPAA
April 25th - 27th 2025
Registration is open.
Stanton
Pioneer E. Plorer Pauline Weaver led an expedition in 1863 that discovered gold nuggets the size of potatoes on the top of Rich Hill. The hill became the richest fold placer discovery in Arizona. Miners worked Rich Hill found deposit’s of gold in nearby Weaver and Antelope Creeks as well the towns of Stanton, Weaver and Octave grew up near the creeks. By the early 1900’s the gold began to play out. That and the general lawlessness of the area drove out most of the population.
Placer Pete's
Come join us at one of the largest gold bearing areas in Arizona. Placer Pete is collaborating with the LDMA and GPAA for a fantastic April Event. We got talked into it! We will have vendors, a Saturday night meal prepared by the LDMA, the now famous Sunday treasure hunt, classes and all of the usual Placer Pete activities with the addition of some very special ones as well (night time scavenger hunt?). Loads of give aways will be offered!
Amenities
Showers, restrooms, porta-potties, hookups (50 and 30 amp), dump station and others. We will dig the paydirt for you to use. We will have breakfast and lunch provided as usual. It's gonna be a hoot!
One new item, the Saturday night Potluck will not be held... Instead the LDMA will provide a meal for the participants of the Placer Pete event!
That's right we are adding an additional meal for you free of charge. One less meal for you to prepare!
