I live in Indiana, so I don't know if it is even legal on private property, if it's not, then just yell at me and I will respect the law.
The land is where my parents house is located. There are two creeks that meet just to the north of our house (maybe 1000 feet)to become one creek. One of the creeks is directly in my parents back yard, just down a hill. The area we live is well above flood level and close to a water source that has probably been around a long time. Pictured below are what I found just laying on top of the ground as a kid growing up. I never went out looking for them. I would just be out playing with friends and look down and see one laying on top of the ground after a heavy rain or something. I can only remember where two were found, but I know they were all found in my yard. My dad told me that the black one was found whole when he tilled the garden and that I broke it when I was younger. I also recall one of my neighbor's dads finding a nice large bluish flint point when he went down to the creek one day.
I tried walking the creek this weekend but had no luck finding anything other than a 1950s coke bottle made in my hometown.
Does anyone think this would be a worthy place to maybe square off a 5'x5' section and dig and screen it all? How deep would I have to go?
Thanks.
The bread bag tie is just there for size reference. Everyone else was asleep and I didn't want to wake them while rooting around for a coin.
