I have contacted:
http://nysgoldsite.com/ and nysgpaa@nysgoldprospectors.com through their email contact info many, many times over the past 3 years; my husband and I are interested in joining, however no one ever emails me back. Does anyone know if these are active groups? Does anyone know of any active group in the Finger Lakes region?

How to Research for Treasure Hunting and Metal Detecting From Lead Generation to Vetting - Grab it through Amazon!

[Terry Soloman]

Sharon, there is no Lode or Placer gold in New York State. Up in your region there are traces of "Glacial" gold, which are tiny specks that are really not worth the time, travel costs or cost of equipment to recover. If you want to get a gold pan, a shovel and a bucket to test your local creeks and streams - FOR FUN, the go for it. As for these websites, I think you have answered your own question if they haven't gotten back to you in three-years. Best of luck!

Thank you Terry,
Gold panning and metal detecting is a recent hobby that my husband and I started to do a couple of years ago; mainly to keep me busy.We are under no illusions of getting rich doing either of them. It's a way for us to do something fun together I love the idea of treasure hunting of any kind. Garage and estate sales are so fun for me! 2 years ago we needed a part for my old convertible and we went to a junkyard...It was so fun! We found the part we needed, but it was just fun looking for it! ...I have Lupus. For me,a lot of the fun is researching online; and part of that is reading about what other people in my own area are doing. Not being able to access information drives me crazy! Because of my Lupus, my outdoor activities are limited by the sun, the cold, I can't climb mountains but I can walk and hike...so the time I do have outside; I'd like to at least "think" I might be in an area where it's possible to to find a speck of gold in a creek... You know what they say, it's not having the gold it's finding it!
