Gold in Guilford
Chenango Union, Aug. 31, 1893
Local contemporaries publish a story to the effect that a farmer in the town of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], northwest of Guilford pond, while digging a well, struck an old railroad rail, apparently covered with gold, and another parallel rail has since been found. Some of the plating was sent to New York, and an analysis shows the substance to be pure gold. It is supposed other rails will be found, as near that point several rails disappeared in the swamp when the old Midland railroad was being built. Mr. Winski, the finder, thinks he has a gold mine.
