Holy cow. I was fixated on the first piece of pottery and the cordage marks. Then I saw all the tools and points. Most excellent finds and area to hunt! Very unique pieces.
Happy Memorial day!

Cool stuff the first 5 photos look European to me I think the white stuff is milk glass.. And the basket weave design looks like its in red wear

 

[monsterrack]

Some great finds

You got some nice finds. I was wondering on the white also. It does look like a type of glass.

Mark Twain lake looks like a good place to hunt! Love that first shard!

My father in law has a cabin on some property and i never thought to walk the creek, its has 3 creeks that T off into a bigger creek. under water cave is really cool in the creek as well. So much stiff there i couldnt pick it all up. Im going to spend a weekend there just lookin here soon.

Becarful in that cave. Sometimes there will be a suction of sorts you might not know till you are underwater. You dont want to get sucked into it.

I really like that shard. Ive never seen that design before.

There's definitely milk glass in one of the first 3-4 pics. Really unsure about the basket-weave pottery. I tend to agree w/ Gator- mostly because I have never, ever seen a pic of a piece like it in any website. I could definitely be wrong. But BOY! you certainly are finding a lot of good artifacts! HH!

Thanks rock i dont plan on going in but i plan on scoping out whats in the water. The pottery was maybe 10ft from this part of the creek. Looks like a good hang out for indians lol

I thought pottery was common. Or you guys just havent seen any like that. Im guessin im keepin that piece pottery for my collection. I give alot of stuff to my little nephew.

 

[yakker]

Pottery can be common in some places. It's the pattern- the very symmetrical, uniform pattern. That's what I'm noticing. That said, I may simply be exposing my ignorance! Yak

I don't think that piece is Native American it looks like basketweave pattern its not cord marked
