Love it! I first panned in Buffalo Brook back in the 1970s and found some nice pieces in ochre clay and then dredged in the 1980s with Dennis Abbott who ran the Tyson store. I too think there could be very valuable orogenic gold deposits in Vermont like those found in Canada. The evidence has either been scraped away by glaciers or buried in till and outwash. Only the east-west deep valleys kept their gold like Buffalo Brook. The placer deposits everywhere else were scraped away and left in the moraines on the Vinyard and Long Island.
This was an absolute killer presentation my friend. I love the detail in the presentation! Long story short, i am a veteran and the VA advised more outdoor relaxing activities that i should take up. I live in rhode island, and i was hoping there was a way i could get one of these pamphlets u handed out at this. And if you could possibly point me in the right direction for some gold panning. I have no delusions of grandeur about getting rich. I just want to try it out. But finding some would be a cool souvenir also. I tried finding geological maps online and it drove me crazy. Please a little assistance. Thank-you
Nelson and Jeff, Excellent Vermont history info and Gold geology lesson. I hope to get to Vermont this summer and try out some of the locations you mentioned. So Vermont only allows usage of sluice boxes on private land/ What about on common state land. Thanks again.
Good day, thanks so much for posting the informative and interesting video. I am an Earth science teacher in Upstate NY and have been incorporating prospecting into my lessons. The kids are excited to learn more and pan some of the sediment that I collected for them. I want to teach more about the bedrock geology so I wondered if you could share the information for the bedrock geology map that was used in the presentation so I could purchase a map or make one for our class. Thanks so much!
This is awesome! I just started panning in VT but have not found anything yet! Maybe I need to try Plymouth area. Does anyone know if the Huntington River has gold?
go to my website: www.802outdooradventures.com and there is a list of rivers that have been vetted to have gold in them. Some by me and the others by people i know.
Just dove in big this year thank you so much for the information. I’d love to go to one of these in the future.
Do you guys plan on doing another seminar I would like to attend and possibly meet you guys.

They do not allow any sluice boxes on state land and their use on private land is by permit only with the landowners permission.
Nice job
Enjoy your video buddy..nice sharing!!.

I wish he talked a little more about metal detectors - never had luck with them ? Why not
Vermont sucks. Tell your friends.
Maybe you just need to learn more about sniffing out the gold and doing your research.
