jefferson,, i have been kind of sidelined with my back since christmas...walk around a couple hours and feel like i'm in a torture chamber for at least three days...don't ever ask santa to bring you a sciatic nerve problem as you will regret it...i can't even walk to my garage and work on my harley without wishing i never had one,, and thats bad....haven't been to work since the week of christmas....as for not sending you a mail or a call, i guess i'm just a sorry ass, but will definantly buzz you....don't much feel like doing anything, and talking about it don't help none.....hey, i saw youre post to carl on his challenge,, saw he hasn't replied too....what do you think about a deep south redneck having all these new york leads ? amazing huh....might as well give them away as I hope never to be above your state again....i like it better down here with all the hills and thrills..............gldhntr

Theres a nice shot on good old Terra Server west of Clyde where the canal and river get very close looks like a square on the ground and very overgrown. Looks as if a canoe or row boat is the best way in.

anyone else got anything for rensalear county? i live between nassau and new lebanon.
Morganville NY, Theres is talk of caves in the area. Any info. you may have please pass on 
From what I can gather talking to people in and around the area. A cave or caves are there, then followed by there haunted or a ghost story where someone dies after spending a night in the area.
No one seems to have seen the cave but they all know someone who has but cant remember who.
Going on how many good things hidden have good ghost stories (real or not) keeps a good number of people from looken.
The best story I was given was from a Mason he told me might find Morgan's body in a cave there
I would not wish finding that body on anyone. I plan on scouting out the area where the cave maybe in the next few weeks just to get a look around but would like more info or sugestions.

Before the end of WW2 my grandfather said that he and some other officers were melting gold and casting them into engine parts painting them drab green and sending them to Schoharie County to his friends grandparents farm where they were hidden. Unfrotunatly my grandfather was found hung in 1971 for war crimes of WW2 but as a child I remember seeing many gold items including gold teeth, coins and things unknown that were painted drab green and very heavy. My grandfathers friend Rudy from Narrowsburg Pennsylvania also a SS officer had lived off what they sent here, gold and platinum. The platinum was in Rudy's lake behind his house. Rudy is now dead and always wanted to go back for the gold in the mountain but was dying of cancer. The gold is still there Rudy said, it was at a farm at the base of the mountain with an iron mine shaft going straight in from the field it was a german family that owned the farm thats all I can remember.

TO ALL -- "gldhntr" is gettin pounded with questions about NY leads...
I can throw afew leads "not from that Atlas,nor book",but rather looking threw very very old documents for the most obscure information....
First off- Try researching "since its wintertime soon- oh joy",but start looking into the REV WAR Documents of your LOCAL HISTORICAL Society....,look for information "this is a start!!!!" that pertains to certin raids or TORY/LOYALIST/BRITISH!!! -roads-trade routes-small skirmish sites-,start with FAMILY RECORDS!!!!!!!!...It takes ALOT OF RESEARCH TO FIND A UNKOWN CLUE OR "WHERE TO START", - stay away from the French and Indian war/trade era storys since to many were to obscure in thier direction and also dueto the mass changing of spots in Upstate and Down State....
For those who research abit and take the time to do so will not get any real clues on where to go,BUT IF YOU DO RESEARCH THEN THE INFO/RESEARCH STARTS TO COME TOGHTER...
Not only have i uncoverd 2 caches of hidden loot "not gone and dug yet!!!!!" i am the first to find the info--took almost a year to find small bts of info,but could be worth it!",and also I am pretty much/98% away from finding somthing in Cobleskill.....,but also checked the "KLOCK" story and research pays off............
PM me,if anyone has a certin question/help -just ask- and I will tell ya where to start lookin.....winter is a B#$CH and since i have notta to do, i might aswell help out.....
Rich.....
PS - also its very good to know Decrypt/crypto/symbolism!!!!!!,so if you dont know anything pick up abook about the subject's I just written.......thats a good portion of finding somthing good!
