I'm not too familiar with the geography of NY, but I know that NY has Normanskill and Onandaga chert, both pretty good rock.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Go to the Hudson and explore the creeks (kills) emptying into it- and you'll find Normanskill or Esopus flint.
