There is Gold in New York State !
Hi , This is "Jack " ( Gold Panner ) from New York State in the Centeral Region of the Finger Lakes between Seneca Lake & Cayuga Lake . I was watching the Gold prospecting & the Gold Fever show on the out Door channel & really got interested in gold prospecting . So I went & bought myself some gold pans off the net & some sluices & a few other things I needed . I was told by a few people I know that there isn't any gold to be found in New York State , but I proved them wrong . I have been going to the loca gullies in my area for the past three years now & I did come across some gold that is called glacier gold that had come down from the North thousands of years ago when the glacier moved down through New York State and other areas farther South . I met a guy on the internet Jim Simmons from Branch port , New York & he has been panning for gold in New York State for about ten years he told me & he gave me some good pointers on finding the gold better in the gullies & other areas , so I picked up his advice & have been doing even better in finding the gold . Jim Simmons has a real nice web site & he has everything on there from gold prospecting , metal detecting , fossil hunting gem hunting , rock hunting & has quite afew members now registered on there now . You can get to the site by typing www.NYSGoldprospectors.com It is a real nice site & I'm sure you will injoy goin there . He also has some history on there about New York State gold . So if anyone tells you there is no gold to be found in New York State tell them to go to the New York State Gold Site . There are some nice picture to be seen on there . There is Gold in New York State just waiting to be found . " Jack " ( Gold Panner ) Happy Gold Prospecting . It doesn't take long after you find some gold that you get that Gold Fever .
Hi Bud,
I have lived on conesus lake all my life during the summers, but never heard of that area. I would love some more info on it. I am facinated by geology and would like a place to go with my sons, 7 & 9. Would it stand to reason that the water coming down from the hills emptying into the lake might have some gold? I would appreciate any information. Thanks. TIM
there is a gorge,110 ft deep near geneseo ny called fallbrook. when i was a kid--75 now--i hunted for arrow heads and found lots of them. ialso brought home shale rock with gold flecks. my dad said i had to stop because we were not allowed to have gold so i didn't bring any more home. since then i have distroyed both my knees so it would be very hard for me to get into that gorge but maybe someone else can . good luck BUD.
