Those are nice andy.

That creek just keeps renewing itself.

Do you go after the rains and when the water clears up.

They must just keep washing out from places.

ohio river
the natives camped and hunted around water...look around high spots where little creeks intersect bigger creeks...on the up-river side. look for larger stones big enough to carry that seem out of place. in a ring,or assembled, with evidence of heat or burning. this could look like a sand bar where all the stones are like as big as a nerf ball and you see a group of stones like big as a flat beach ball. there may be a few or several.still assembled or scattered once you find one youll recognize what im sayin. look around for flint or slate shards. find the east and seach to the west.the arroweads will stick out like a sore thumb. after a rain. lots of small pieces of mussel shells is a good place to hunt,too. some may show evidence of drilling. thats a hot spot look hard. i dont dig artifacts but lotsa guys do, i find its too much work, i let the rain do the work....steve

I am going to guess 1920s...

a buddy of mine found one similar at an old coal mine site and he researched it to the 20's.

Great Finds!

Great finds, and the bullets appear to be modern, pre civil war. It takes along time for lead to turn white.

Bullets look modern. I just found one a couple days ago on a little used beach...a popular spot for sighting in a rifle.

It does take a long time for lead to turn white. But I have found several 3 ringers in a creek that looked like they were droped yesterday. Just food for thought.

It's a little ironic that you would see the transition in amunitions in the same river

Love the arrowheads, I never find any in the water like that. Our water is always
muddy here in ohio. Guess i'll have to move out your way, or come and visit sometime
and you can take me hunting. Thanks for the great pics.

Nice points there BadAndy, I do most my hunting in the creeks to. Big rains are definitely a big help in washing out and up new finds. I know of a few fields in Calhoun that were campsites or villages were i hunt sometimes after they are plowed and rained on. In arrowhead hunting unless your diggin, mother nature takes care of exposing the good stuff.
