A 1927 SLQ and a great seal button.
Enjoy!

Hey,

Nice Points, Nice silver, nice horse shoe.... That horse shoe could hold some real luck. In order for a horse shoe to work you need to find it from an actual horse that actually lost it. Then hang it over a doorway with open side up so the luck won't spill out.

Nice finds,

Keep @ it and HH!!

Zowee! Sweet finds. That axe head is amazing.

Hoah Yeah!

 

[crazyjarhead]

Nice finds. How old is that ax head??

Interesting. It appears that you were working a creek bed.
I've never thought of doing that when looking for artifacts.
The only places I've ever looked have been plowed fields or
high ground after a heavy rain.
Obviously you have luck in the creek beds. Or, was this an
exceptionally rich area?

Sweet mother of stone! those finds ROCK!

Thanks, The axe is full groove. Some say that makes it older. The quartz point was found under it, so I'm goin' to say it's maybe a couple of thousand yrs. old.

To answer your question with my best guess:
Eventually everything makes it to the water.
I'm looking in an area that has multiple feeder creeks that flow into a larger creek. My theory, multiple sources of water for constant supply.
Also, Topography is key. To explain further, a gradual elevation drop creates a creek that forms rock banks alternately.
The more bends in the creek the better!
These are from the same creek.

Super finds.

 

[Magil]

Excellent information! Thanks!
I know of an area in N.E. Iowa that fits the description
perfectly. Plus, it was an area with a lot of native American
activity. Can't wait to wade that creek!

 

[HolyDiver]
