TOP 5 PLACES | To Find Gold in NY State - ask Jeff Williams

[@SCW1060]

I love all of your videos but what I love the most is when you are serious and teaching geology to us.

[@scotchbeef6078]

yeah cant beat a bit of jeffucation but we still need the gold fever crazy jeff lol

[@jessyoungquest]

yupper---- Mill Creek, My Back Yard-- headin down later today and pan a bit--- see what happens !!

[@DNMEBOY]

I live near there. I might have to check it out once I get some gear. Been meaning to try fishing Mill Creek near the bridge at the intersection.

[@francismusso7644]

Jeff, I live near keuka Lake a finger Lake in Upstate N.Y.. After years of prospecting I've found most of the Gold is in the South end of the lakes, and in the creeks that run from east to west through the glacial gravels that were deposited. The greatest amount of gold is found on the east side of the lakes.. Have found great gold and up to 1/4 " nuggets on the east side of Keuka.. Tremendous amounts in the bed rock cracks, and a 3" suction dredge does great for those cracks

[@Askjeffwilliams]

that must be off of the 54 right next to Wayne before it joins up with the west branch

[@steveezard8859]

Fantastic! I live between Canandaigua lake and honeyoe lake, I have a good size main creek that runs down to honeyoe lake, im excited to try!

[@stickmanismyhero5316]

Love the geology lessons you give me I'm a heating and air conditioning tech with a passion for dire and rocks. Its youtube channels like this that keep me happy lol

[@jasensherwood1707]

Excellent Jeff! As always I am blown away by your knowledge and passion. Thank you for being humble and sharing this info with us!

[@jasonfried8821]

Thanks for this one! For a guy that lives in northern PA, this gives a spark of hope that i could find a little gold closer to home. I love to pan for gold but feel like theres no point unless im travelling west (many miles). Im north enough here that we still had some glacial melt. It would be a helluva thrill just to find a few specks right at home! Cheers, and thanks for all the great videos.

[@GramCanyonSam]

New York, Now that's close to home of petey and myself, back in the day we mucked around a few times in upstate NY. But the gold is very plentiful and pure across the border in Vermont 😁⛏ Petey always pulls back to. We have some friends mining some incredible Crystal's there rite now though. Cheers Jeff thanks for the information you provide for everyone.

[@GramCanyonSam]

Side note to Boston "hometown" has an incredibly old jewelry district also and has made my day once or twice 😎⛏⛏

[@KevinSimpson-u7m]

Im located just off i-90 and 787. I know of a few spots that I always had a feeling, but never expected the Hudson and tributaries would! I might be a little too far south, but the bedrock has a bunch of different pressure waves in it. A few small feeder streams get deposits of sand bars id like to pan for fine material. You have sparked positive possibilities!! Stay tuned

[@lisafarr2317]

Awesome vid jeff. U tell it how it is n its all interesting, helpful n funny.

[@soulreaper6105]

I live out in Oneonta NY I was raised in between 2 county's Schoharie county and Otsego county . I've have Always had a feeling there In the lower part of the valleys there would be some gold but have not had a chance or the time to do some prospecting . and i'm a newb . But thanks for the inspiration .

Ohhh, now yur talkin about my neck of the woods. I have done some panning in the Catskills, I am currently looking at a gravel mine, want to get to the bedrock. You know why? You better know. If I find some gold, I will let you know. I have also been in Vermont, they have some gold there too. Thanks for the tips Jeffery, your the best.

Good video Jeff very informative I don't live anywhere near New York I'm stuck here in Missouri where there's no gold well in Southwest Missouri there's no gold anyway thank you for sharing

[@rmcnasty7319]

Hello Jeff Thank you for the info, That makes sense. I'm planning a Trip To the andirondacks . For Site seeing , I had no idea there was gold in them hills. I better bring my new 1 quart Snfter bottle ,I made. Ever do any panning around Dawson. A lot of shiny up there. A video , with you Going to Dawson or anywhere in a big RV, Mining for Gold , it should share you to RV Channels, might bring up subs. Where can I find large gold nuggets , just hearing them clunkers rolling around bottom of pan. I'd do the happy dance, And Screem. I GOT THE GOLD, RUNNING IN CIRCLES. GOT TO BE A STREAM WITH SOME NUGGIES. Keep up the work. Mine Safe ,

[@paulgreen6854]

Thanks for this Video!!!

[@paulgreen6854]

A few weeks before this I actually sent you a message on your Facebook page. I'm the guy with the eight year old daughter. Crazy about rocks loves your show, constantly breaking up rocks with hammers. Collecting cool rocks, and of course looking for gold although she hasn't found any. But she does have a pretty cool rock that might have some in it. She says it's too pretty to bust open. We love your show Jeff! Thank you so much for doing a show about New York. If you've never camped in the Adirondacks you should. It's amazing up there! Burks Marina on raquette Lake can set you up with a boat and it's just such a beautiful region to explore.

[@syedmuhammadahsanali8349]

Jeff keep up the great work. I come around some black rocks and when in night light of a torch put on them small speckles shine like stars. What type of rock is that? Also find marble in nearby rocks as well.

[@Askjeffwilliams]

could be a schistose based rock

Very nice jeff

[@irvingbrown2389]

How’s it going Jeff? I live in upstate NY , I actually just purchased property in Lexington, N.Y., the scoharie creek is right across the street from my property. I’ve been metal detecting for several years now and absolutely love it. I like to preferably hunt older private property that hopefully hasn’t been detected before and has some history and age to it. Obviously you can’t always have perfect places but the Catskill mountains are full of history and anyone who truly loves the hobby knows your unlikely to strike it rich and be able to retire or live some lavish lifestyle, most who detect do it for the love of getting out in nature and the thrill of finding something that hasn’t been touched in sometimes hundreds of years. Most things have a story to tell, either about the item or the area it’s found or all of those together. I just came across your channel and it caught my interest, you seem pretty knowledgeable. I just subscribed and look forward to checking out some of your other videos and hope to learn some good tips. I’ve always wondered if there was gold in the countless streams and creeks and the Hudson River is really close to where I live although never considered looking for gold there, I believe it would be a daunting task and I’m not sure of the laws but know you aren’t supposed to metal detect within so many feet of the river besides there are countless crystal clear streams and creeks to look in and I’m well aware of how this area was formed and know there must be glacial deposits of gold throughout N.Y., and my guess is there are places that may have decent amounts of gold. Throughout my years of growing up in NY I’ve fished since I could walk and have spent a lot of time in various streams and creeks and remember seeing a lot of the signs they gold may be present. Lots of quartz and other heavy sediments. I live near the old Catskill Game Farm now. Do you know of any good places either near wear I am now or where I’ll be moving? And to begin doing this should I make my own portable sluse box ? Do you have any ideas or things you know of that you could suggest and that have worked? And how much gold can you find in a day? I know for the most part your probably digging crevices, have you found anything sizable and what’s the most you’ve found in a day? With gold prices at an almost record high even small amounts add up fast. Thanks for sharing your information and I look forward to checking out more of your channel and look forward to hopefully hear from you.

Im in Staten Island and have been dying to pan for gold but i always figured i would never find any gold anyway i used to play around with metal detectors but that was so long ago i have a better grasp now maybe ill find some gold! There is a story i think it was very early 1900s maybe late 1800s a man digging a hole for a fence post in todt hill and found a cast iron pot filled with Spanish gold coins it was in the newspaper in that time i saw the article at the library on one of those microfilm reels.

Jeff , there's a guy out of N Wisconsin who works the Lake Superior shoreline , gathering black sand which collects in bands parallel to the shore line.

Back in his shop he runs the concentrate over a miller table...his channel's called " Flour gold wizards " ...thanks
