Extended Drought in area have dried creeks to the point I haven't seen in 30 years.
Drought has prematurely made trees start dropping lots of leaves making walking the creek hard to spot anything worth finding. I did find an Avon jar, I piece of ceramic and a broken tip of an arrowhead. Better than getting nothing.

Need a rain to do a wash.
This stretch of weather has been the driest all summer.
The tip is nice.

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Good stuff. Keep at it.👍🏼
 

Might take advantage of the dry creek beds with a little metal detecting if it's in or close to town, or downstream from an old grist mill. I've found a few coins in the past in mine including this 1903-O Barber quarter. Good luck!

I have actually found a newer penny in the same creek. I think, only because of side by sides running creek bed. There was a small mill down creek from where we hunt. Nothing above our hunting location would produce anything other than trash. (car rims, metal siding, or fence posts)

cool find
 

Very nice !
 

The dry times will pass.

The weather in N Cal has been odd this summer. Sky is now routinely covered by persistent contrails that spread across the entire sky partially blocking the sun via. a thin overcast. No conspiracy theory here as to the cause. Just noting what we have seen this summer. Has to affect weather patterns. If nothing else I know it measurably screws up the effectiveness of solar panels.

Find ways to capitalize on the available sunlight we have before it’s gone. Fall will be here soon,

I would definitely check downstream from the old mill. Found these goodies in such an area.

Will give it a try. The creeks are getting a lot of leaf cover right now which makes it hard to find anything.
 

Cool finds - congrats !
