I started hunting this creek last summer and found some good things, I had been waiting on hunting season to end. It rained last night and I almost did not go because I knew the water would be high, but what the heck, I thought all I would do is get wet and muddy and boy did I ever. The first 50 yards was unreal. This what I found on two rock bars. 2-8-14 006.webp2-8-14 012.webp2-8-14 010.webpI had to stop taken instu pics of pottery because it was so much. I only went 10ft and found these two points2-8-14 013.webp2-8-14 014.webp2-8-14 017.webp2-8-14 018.webp2-8-14 019.webpI'm going to call the long one a spear point JMO it's 5 1/2in long and the longest point I have ever found made out of local creek chert. Found some old teeth not sure what kind but I will find out.2-8-14 022.webp2-8-14 023.webpI walked a long way and found a lot of pottery, old bone, a old metal axe head and a old hoe head. I just about to give up for the day going had done got rough. When I had to get out of the creek to go around deep water or a log jam, I had to go thru what we call mock lemon brush.2-8-14 034.webp2-8-14 025.webp2-8-14 035.webpI made it around one more bend and the creek made a drastic change to clay bottom with pot holes every where. Then I found this in the first 25ft2-8-14 026.webp2-8-14 027.webp2-8-14 029.webp2-8-14 030.webp2-8-14 031.webpI have only found these pot hole like this in one other creek and I found a lot of artifacts in the holes, take a look at the holes and there is 2 more miles of these by what the land owner told me today2-8-14 032.webp2-8-14 033.webpI call this a artifact trap, as they are washed down the creek they fall in the pot holes and all you have to do is dig them out by hand, and I tried a few but the water was just too dang cold. I have some other finds but I have to clean them up , this is what I've gotten clean.2-8-14 039.webp2-8-14 040.webpDo you think I found any pottery, this is the first hunt where I took my flipping stick that had that good Mandan mojo on it and I think it worked, I wont go hunting with out it again:laughing7:Walked up on one of my baby's2-8-14 037.webpThis is my little cabin on the land, my piece of heaven. I had to go in and take a shower before I could get in my jeep.2-8-14 036.webp Thanks for looking

Man its a good week to do a hunt at your place. On the large point do you think it looks like an Etley? I dont know if you have them in your area though. Sweet pickins
 

...after seeing the deer in your post, it made me want to post this one for you monsterrack.....DSCN1432.webp.....look at his tail, unusual for a mule deer...he was visiting our back yard.
 

Your one find looks like a horses' molar.

You are dead on Old Digger, took it by my bone buddy and he said the same thing prehistoric horse and then he showed me a large bowl of them. Then he wanted to rub it in and showed me his new find of a Rino tooth and a crocodile jaw bone and a piece of a sea turtle shell.
