    Badandy...congratulations on some fantastic finds. You have mastered the art of water hunting, can you give some tips to us who have never tried it? Do you wade, float or just eyeball from shore? I would love to try this.

    Wow they all seem to be made of same material, What,s the chances of that.Looks like a creek cache. We don,t even have any shallow water creeks in southern O hio .They are all dried up. They have declared my area as a national diaster area. Worse drought in over 130 years. Those are super finds. The Indians must have lived in Illinois creeks. Jeff

    Nice finds there Andy!

    I water hunted for over 15 years in Mid-Missouri, my handle was creekwalker32810. I loved water hunting, you will find a lot more whole fine points in the creeks and fields this way.

    Any time we had a heavy downpour, I would head to the creeks the next day and start looking for the points, one day after a 6" gully washer I found 40 whole points in the creek, that was and still is my record.

    Nice stuff there, you sure do have a better chance of finding the larger unbroken stuff in the creeks like that vs. the fields with all the years of plowing...
