So, if you went slogging up streams with a copy of “200 Waterfalls”in your hand, purely in the pursuit of
200 Waterfalls in Central & Western NY
waterfalls, you missed the boat. While you enjoyed the fresh coolness of that country stream and basked in the splatter of a glorious waterfall, you should have had your eyes pealed to the stream in pursuit of gold – really!
There’s even a web site on NY State Gold and, of course, a gold prospecting association.
How to Pan for Gold in NY State
No Gold in NY! Who Says!
The link for the article on people mining for gold in the creek beds of the finger lakes no longer works. I would like to read the story. Any idea how I may find it.
Hi Martin,
Unfortunately, that story is gone. That’s the problem with linking to newspaper articles. There’s a fine line between violating copyright issues and risking loosing articles like this one. While searching for this missing article, I found two other links concerning gold in NY. See them in the bottom of the article above.
