I found this book while looking for something else and thought it might be of interest to some folks in New York.

I do ot put much faith in stories that start out "A Man found a cave in the woods", and ends with "He died before he could return", or "an earthquake sealed the entrance and it was never found again"...
Especially in NY.

There are no known gold deposits in New York State.

I would have to agree with auferret on this. Since the gold deposits in Canada and those also gold found in Pennsylvania and Ohio would lead me to believe that since all these landmasses are in the same region and caused by glacial forces then the sediment compound must be the same. I am adding a topo map of the Canadian gold finds in the Hudson bay area which extends downward into New York. So they are connected land masses.

 

[lorddean13]

this is one place I never would have expected a gold mine.

 

[Terry Soloman]

Just call the NYS Geologist and he will gladly confirm that the ONLY gold in New York is Glacial gold that was pushed down from Canada (fine and micro gold). That has not stopped people from selling gold mines in New York since the late 1600s. Good Luck!

Terry is correct...There have been a few small nuggets found in NY, but the majority of the gold is flour gold (very fine), but it can be found in almost any creek you come across...
