mowin Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 NY is too greedy to change that. Good friend of mine lives in Maine and is big into gold prospecting. grampy 1 Quote

Would be a fun past time, frustrating myself trying to get flour gold out of NY. Lol. Getting tired of having to go to PA to do anything fun. Edited September 29, 2024 by lucky118 grampy 1 Quote

I tried it a couple years ago with my buddy. Took us 15 minutes to find my first flake, then two hrs of nothing, lol. Edited September 29, 2024 by mowin lucky118 1 Quote

GreeneHunter Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 Funny , I have a stream that runs through my property and never thought about doing that ! Quote
grampy Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 I've found a few flakes here and there. It's fun going looking for gold. Most streams in NY will have a little Placer gold. Left over from when the glaciers receded during the last ice age. lucky118 1 Quote
Larry Posted September 29, 2024 Posted September 29, 2024 Years ago like when I was in my 20s a friend of mine was into paning for gold and said the same thing that almost any stream had gold in it. He had a half a baby jar full. lucky118 1 Quote
lucky118 Posted September 30, 2024 Author Posted September 30, 2024 Can get a beginner kit for pretty cheap and I have a good bolder filled stream behind my house full of glacial till. Might mess around with a bit. Atleast get some practice when I get sick of everyone and move to Alaska. Lol mowin and Robhuntandfish 2 Quote
