I've heard of a old goldmine inside of Allegany State Park. They say you can't prospect or pan inside of the park, because some utility co. owns the mineral rights.

Please don't yell !
Not the utility company that would own those rights Rich, it would be the Alleghany Seneca Tribe. They retained mineral rights all over WNY by treaty. >:( I ran into this alot when buying properties around here I have to be very careful to make sure I get mineral rights on all properties I own. I currently Have around 12 properties about 750 acres worth. ;D If you look around this area of the state theres Oil wells that are all Seneca owned as well because they retained min. rights. Maybe I own some of that black gold hehehehe :D
