Welcome to the website of the World Goldpanning Association WGA. The WGA is the recognised world network for national goldpanning clubs and associations. It is our goal to organise yearly World Goldpanning Championships in different locations, to host European Goldpanning Championships when the WGPC are not held in Europe and to promote goldpanning and goldprospecting in general. We aim to do this in a spirit of peace, friendship, understanding and fairplay.

Browse this website to find out about the WGA, goldhistory and goldpanning competitions all over the world. If you would like to join one of our events, please feel free to do so and experience a golden time!
