E. Charters, Good Find! Mike Hansen wrote that article and has looked into Gold in Ohio for some time. He is one of the treasures in the ONDR Geological Survey Division! What Mike is saying is that when the glaciers bulldozed across the top of the Red Lake and James Bay mining districts it sheered off some of the gold bearing rocks, and some of those rocks got mixed into the moving ice, or some of those rocks were pushed ahead by the ice bull dozer, thus some of the gold bearing rocks got deposited in Ohio. Those ore rocks that were carried in the ice got deposited over a wide area as the ice melted back and may have been further transported by the melt water. Ore churning around in the mound of dirt pushed ahead by the glacier got deposited in mounds called Moraines or Eskers. Chasing gold deposits mixed into Moraines or Eskers would be like finding a needle in a haystack! I remain firm, but technically corrected, there is no economically mineable gold in Ohio. <g> H3
