Request by storminnormin; gold locations within a 200 mile range of Whitesboro,NY.

In New York gold can be recovered in the waterways that drain the Adirondack and Catskill Mountain Regions. Quartz with embedded gold has also been found in NY. Look for places where the glacial rock has been exposed and have at it. Some report finding nuggets metal detecting hill tops that have shallow or exposed bedrock. There are far more occurrences of folks finding diamonds than nuggets in the glacial drifts, so check out what they look like in the rough.

Here are a few references that I found.

Gold in rock and gravel deposit Wilmont, Herkimer County NY. Cut and exposed by a stream.

Salamanca, New York

Greece, Monroe County New York.

The map shows Glacial rock deposits. There are three shades of yellow used to make the maps, the darker the yellow the larger and thicker the glacial rock layer is. I made the maps using well bore data and test bore data made by the government for a aquifer study. Basically anyplace where there is glacial debris there COULD be gold and minerals of most any type. Most of this rock is covered over by thick layers of more modern stuff. This is why you need to find a place where the rock is exposed, rivers, stream, quarries, road-cuts etc. The glacier melt rivers in the New York area ran north-south which are now shown as north-south lakes.

Thanks for the second map.So I just look for hilltops or streams or rivers in the darkest yellow patches for exposed hillside of bedrock and check them out? Your source didn't happen to tell you the name of the stream in Wilmont,in Herkimer county did it?Thanks, Norm

'name of the stream in Wilmont,in Herkimer county' No, the name was not given. Another tip is that fast moving water that cuts through the debris could create placer deposits down stream where the water slows down, behind boulders, bends etc., just as it would through a lode being concentrated by fast water.
