Well,,, seems you can pan till your arms fall off but anything you find belongs to NY.

Gold in New York State. Panning and Prospecting for Placer Gold

Not sure about the MDing though. Maybe some here that live there can chip in for you.

Good luck

I do not know about any gold ore in your state, but there are many ghost towns, you may want to search. Good luck and keep in touch.

Sorry, the only gold in New York is micro glacial gold. You'll have much better luck metal detecting for old gold and silver coins. Good Luck!

There is a metal detecting club in Olean, N.Y.
They would have a lot of info on the local rules.
