Archive for New York State Gold Discovery

[gravelMaster]

Notices of Discovery are to be found in the "Register of New York Gold and Silver Mines" in the State Archives within the State Education Department on the eleventh floor. The department has been likened to entering "a maximum security prison". Bring iron-clad ID, no personal items, and have read a list of 25 strictly enforced rules, etc. Sounds like New York doesn't it? All of the documents that you might need are there in one place. Maybe one day they'll digitize the whole thing, but don't hold your breath.
