Prospecting Gold In New York State 2

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

This looks like fun! I do metal Detecting & I love it!!

[@Legba56]

I know exactly where you are and have considered prospecting there as well.

[@arcticmorning]

aha.. not far from orchard park ny... i have dredged that falls near b y

[@demianriley121]

My gosh the stream is low!

[@Alexwachowski-pr3nu]

Thats Zoar Valley.

[@DewDroppedDiamondsInTime]

[@Ameathia]

Looks like west falls, Griffin Mills area

[@jeffreybattles5705]

Wow the gold he found in wny is amazing

[@MountainMassOutDoors]

Town of danude

[@therrienmichael08]

I have the whole setup minus the sucker. Hope I can still do it 20 years from now.

[@sponsonjerry]

Good to see you'll be getting out. The older gentleman in the video his name is Alan had a stroke three years ago and hasn't been able to go anymore. Myself I'll be 65 in March and still doing some prospecting .Will be getting out early spring and should make another video.

[@therrienmichael08]

@@sponsonjerry Sorry to hear about Al. He had a good run.

[@kimberlyallen-sherrill]

I've always wanted to do this. It's in my bucket list.

[@arthurmorgan6087]

The boulders are a clear indicator of why there is gold there. Glaciers dropped gold bearing Canadian rock in NY. It wasn’t originally formed there.

[@aliciamariediys1069]

I live in Western NY and would love to know where this is. Not for gold but to visit.

[@GoombaHere]

Hi Jerry, Thanks for sharing your videos. For some fun my cousin and I decided to try and pan a creek in Northern NJ.. To my surprise we found a few pieces of flour gold. Well we decided to make a hobby out of it.. In with the 50 fold-able sluice and blue bowl.. I am amazed that we find anything but we do.. Its more fun than anything. but I love when people tell me there is no gold in NJ and I keep finding it.. LOL

[@labratmudrock]

A fun day at the river! You might enjoy watching URBAN PROSPECTING - STREET GOLD

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

I watch that! How cool!

[@birdlady5707]

As of March 2012, the state of New York still holds sole title over any precious metals discovered within its boundaries, which of course include the Upper Tier.

[@scotts2089]

F the gov. They are corrupt criminals.

[@trissahoover]

During trout season my husband and I fished Elk Creek near Erie, pa. To my surprise I found a lot of black sand on the stream banks. Found garnet sand too! Never paid close enough attention to notice before I suppose. My mother and I explored Chautauqua Gorge near Jamestown NY last week. Lots of black sand! Also garnets. Found one garnet about 4mm in size. Just FYI to viewers near Erie Pa, there may be some gold to be found.

[@pup9et]

@4:00 i bet if you rolled that rock over and check the sand under it there would be gold lol

[@anothermonkeyproductionino2331]

Any gold discovered in NY state is property of NY state and can not be kept legally. Even claim holders and landowners are not entitled to keep any precious metals that they find, if you find a nugget under your front porch, it doesn’t belong to you.

[@michaelriley8002]

Dont tell everyone like a big mouth lol

[@sponsonjerry]

not sure but I will weigh up all my wny gold and get a figure. It's not going to be much. I do it for excersize and getting out in nature.

[@OakRidgePrimitives]

Looks like a place I am headed to tomorrow :) Actually looks identical! May or may not be the same place though. Cool video!

[@trissahoover]

@sponsonjerry Awesome, thanks. Let me know when you plan to visit the erie area.

[@WhatTheHeckTV]

do you think there is any gold in pa,i have all the gear

[@theronreese2191]

Yes i just started in the binghamton area broome county ny and actually my last pan before we got snow here i actually found a couple grains of gold i think the area has hidden potential glacial till is readily found with quartz and garnet black sand and its real easy to pan down!

[@MrBugman2525]

Gold at 2000 a once or 62 a gram

[@coptechgold]

That one pan is more than I have found in Illinois for the last 2 years.

[@darkmoon424]

I prospect on that same creek but maby 20 miles south from where you are. We only have the 50's and 100's mesh gold coming down from you :/ i would really love to go up stream one day

[@WesternNyBigfoot]

How far from dunkirk ny are you

[@trissahoover]

How far from Erie, PA are you doing your prospecting? What do you think the chances are for finding some specks in creeks around Erie?

[@katesmallworlds8176]

am going to new york but can someone tell me where is this place? or tell me a place for gold panning in NY plz ty:)

[@joebarone3272]

great video, im out on long island and me and wifey are going up to cortland and a spot on fishkill creek to do some panning im getting the cube and having wifey bring back a few tar buckets full of paydirt back to the car. hehe

[@nynut518]

gold right on long island

[@featherdude]

I have spent a lot of time in your "secret spot" hiking around. Always wondered if there was any gold there because of the rock from Canada. Found a pretty garnet once in a very thin schist layer. Never could find that layer again. Sure is pretty down there.

[@memyselfandlewii8781]

I love the commenters that think they know where you are, looks like a hundred different creeks in western NY To me

[@sm16bmx]

i see, that cool there is gold in wny, who knew? thanks for sharing the video.

[@YankeeGoldProspect]

Pretty good for a state that is not supposed to have any gold in it. And ya just can't beat the serenity of panning.

[@sponsonjerry]

@trissahoover I plan on working some areas in erie PA. I live little over an hour from erie. Look for gravel that contains some milky white quartz and red ruby garnett sand and black sand. Jerry

[@sm16bmx]

what would you put as a $ value on the gold you found in this 1 trip?

[@nhragold1922]

Nice. Let me help. Slate... follow slate in Columbia county

[@MoonShroom420]

nhra gold is there gold in new Lebanon?

[@Ethan_2190]

The law don't know that I found $15,000 in gold on NY state land

[@FoxThaStoner]

Very encouraging fuxk them bro bless up indeed much respect

[@michaelriley8002]

A higher power put it there for everyone

[@theronreese2191]

ya i have found fools gold here there is a lot in ny but it wasnt too hard to spot out the differences. first thing you should do is dry it out and check for oxidization and the other is microscope it gold has a unique surface

[@jaredwhite3010]

How much money is that much gold worth?

[@nynut518]

looked like about 40 or 50 bucks worth

[@wraith0127]

you are joking, right? 1 gram is only worth about $40 if it's 24k pure. Placer gold is almost never 24k, more like 18k-20k which is only worth about $30. That amount of gold looks to be closer to 10-20 MILLIGRAMS. So try about $0.40-$0.75 worth in that pan. Yeah, cents.

[@nynut518]

yeah i was joking ,,, gold in ny and Vermont is 23 k for the most part

[@kenmorto]

@sponsonjerry Trisha, you want to be in the Southern portion of PA! Harrisburgh ect. Work the E-W running creeks!

[@Kingofgrowers]

Susquahana Gold

[@TheBoczk26]

I'm in the area and I'm pretty sure i know that area and have hiked it quite a bit. Could I meet you guys? I want to learn more about sluice boxes and prospecting areas in the north east.

[@dougdays8095]

Theres gold in them ...cheektowagas! I never heard of that nys law , its actually sickening, welcome to new york, now empty your pockets

[@memyselfandlewii8781]

Yeah that law is true! I hate NY GOVERNMENT

[@cowpoke02]

you sure it's not fools gold ? lol . lots of it in new york. it's a lot of work . i tried some in nz . i got land and theres hills and streams and gold flakes but might just be fools gold cause real gold sinks to the bottom. and keeps sinking .

[@nynut518]

its gotta sink from somewhere when water moves the earth the gold gets loose

[@Kingofgrowers]

I live in the Delhi NY area. If anyone is in the area to prospect please holler.

[@sm16bmx]

that's pretty awesome, keep up the good work lol

[@8haggard]

I know where you are..!

[@tep72]

Jerry. We need another Gold Mining Video or Metal Detecting Video

[@sponsonjerry]

I have been in the Niagara Gorge and I went down at devils hole. I did not find any gold but I only test panned for about a quater mile upstream. I'm sure you can find some color along the lower river. Jerry

[@williameidman2962]

if im not mistaken you cant keep the gold because it belongs to the state

[@arthurmorgan6087]

william eidman If the state is willing to come after them for $00.50 worth of gold shame on them.

[@tonkatruck1968]

lol

[@kenmorto]

Great vid... Be careful or you'll start a goldrush in NY! LOL! I need a way to contact you guys... Could exchange some good information, if not partner! I'm right in the area!

[@WesternNyBigfoot]

I am trying to get ahold of jerry how can i geez

[@misterjim4458]

"Although gold certainly does exist within New York, the state itself has an unusual law in place that reads that all gold and silver found within New York are property of the state. Unlike other states that allow private landowners and claim holders to mine on profitable mineral deposits, this silly law prevents that. Obviously, this has completely dampened any interest in any serious mining operations within New York, as the prospector would technically have no rights to the mineral. This is the case regardless of whether the discovery is made within a public forest, or on private property in your own back yard." -- COVER YOUR TRACKS!! This law needs to change too!!

[@haroldleon7249]

New York just can't seem to screw its citizens enough !!!

[@cowpoke02]

yeah sounds good . alot of fake gold or mixed gold that would take a ton to add up to anything , float or isn't as heavy . didn't know the microscope thing . good luck !!

[@RobertLemp]

You are NOT going to find gold with a detector in NY state...it is way too small for detectors to pick up...

[@Kingofgrowers]

susquehanna has gold

[@vvk2837]

u guys need a apprentice. i wouldn't mind working my butt and camping their ..

[@josephheffle7137]

the gold you find in NY is not worth the effort your better off with a metal detector because NY is famous for beaches and rings earrings get lost all the time heads-up on that for yah

[@theronreese2191]

id say that looks close to a gram so between $45 on the low end and $75 would be pushing it

[@kenmorto]

While I do have interest in the spot... I've got an easier way to go about things for old guys like us. An easier way to process. You're missing a lot is all I'll say! I also have a way to locate the better spots :) Trout fishing for 25 yrs:) I've been researching placial gold (I mean we're looking for lead shot, mercury and garnets Sir), for about 10 years now. The question now becomes can I be trusted and can I trust you guys? What I'd show you couldn't be posted...

[@connorj.dunckel4223]

sounds like your research is not done in NY ;)

[@bailey4900]

ny law is that any gold found in ny is property of the state you can not keep it. and that is bs . i metal detect and i have so much problems with New York on it .

[@bailey4900]

+gta 12345 (pokemon opening 445) i would keep it to i was just saying ny thinks they own everything

[@troyj126]

Loos a lot like letchworth maybe stoneybrook.

[@robsteves4408]

yea it is illegal to keep the gold in nys it belongs to the state

[@memyselfandlewii8781]

Fuck the state, they fuck us

[@figu0505]

What the law I belive the know something or there is a lot of gold to be found

[@princeangel1627]

Non sense
