Gold in Slippery Rock Creek?

[johnnyboy25]

Has anyone ever done any panning or sluicing, etc. at Slippery Rock? If so did you find any sign. i think there would have to be glacier deposits and with the high water surge in the spring it seems like a natural.I may go do a little fishing and take my pan with me.....hh....jb

Well if ya find any, you'll be the first person I know of to even mention it.

I've fished up Slippery Rock, ya...it's pretty up there. My buddy fly fished one side of the bridge, I used spinners on the other. Didn't catch anything, but that's not the total point of fishing...more just R&R in a nice place.

A guy I work with is from Slippery Rock. He never mentioned gold in the creek. But I do remember reading in some geology(?) book that Moraine is the Glacial edge...where it halted forward movement. The article alluded to the possibility of gold in the creeks from it being plowed so far south.

Who knows? Maybe you'll strike a load nobody ever suspected was there.

Hey Al, don't know about Slippery Rock, but I have heard a guy up here in Potter County say that he and a friend went panning in the Genesee river by the town of the same name, and found a few flakes of gold a couple of years ago; not enough to start a gold rush though.
