Jeff Lieb took on a role with the GPAA itself. His contact info is listed here (under Pennsylvania): https://www.goldprospectors.org/Community/AboutGPAAChapters
As a long-time member of the DVGPAA it was disappointing that the club shut down, but the club played a valuable role in my prospecting "career" and I appreciate everything I learned through it and the great people that were part of it.

Brett the truth is that it's tough to have a gold club without much gold nearby, and PA, NJ and Delaware (the locations of most DVGPAA members) doesn't offer much opportunity to find much gold "in the wild." Those of us active in the club found ourselves going up to NH or down to VA/NC multiple times a year. That didn't leave much time for "local" digs in PA.
