About this hunt
The North American Miners Association's 4th Annual Gold N' Nugget Hunt — Saturday August 29, 2026, on private property on 55th St SE in Auburn, WA 98092 (southeast of the city toward Enumclaw, off Kersey Way SE); overnight camping permitted. The venue is a private residence, so the exact house number is on the club's flyer and pre-registration form rather than here. NAMA is Washington's oldest small-scale mining club — metal detecting, gold prospecting & rock hounding. Three seeded hunts salted with clad coins, gold, silver coins, misc items, and prize tokens, each round adding more prizes and new tokens: Hunt 1 (9:30–10:15 AM), Hunt 2 (11:30 AM–12:15 PM), Hunt 3 (1:45–2:30 PM), plus a free Kids Hunt for ages 12 & under (1:20–1:30 PM). Check-in/registration 8:00–9:15 AM; potluck 12:30–1:40 PM (club provides burgers & hot dogs, $5 suggested); final raffles 3:30 PM. Main raffle tickets sold until 3:25 PM; vendors welcome. Headline raffle prize is a Minelab Manticore (retail $1,700), alongside silver, gold nuggets and gold vials. Pre-registration has been EXTENDED to Aug 19, 2026 (the flyer prints Aug 10) — pre-registering saves $15. Pay to NAMA, P.O. Box 612, Renton WA 98057 (online payment via namaminers.org coming soon).
