Finally the creek gave up a couple of pottery shards!

Well went in one of the original sections of the creek today and was raking sand and talking to Creek Spirit about why it's not giving me anything in so long, wondering if I needed to do a good energy dance or sacrifice something or whatever geez! Then raked up a broken bottle and more glass so thinking this could be the spot and then there was the little one, it's about an inch square. So I raked up some more sand and glass and then the bigger thin one rolled up and I picked it up and slipped and glad it was all sand and little pebbles cause I busted my butt. Hope Creek Spirit enjoyed the show Didn't find any points but the shards are fine with me. The biggest one you can see the fibers under the clay, which I find really cool and also there are some triangular patterns, it's pretty thin with a nice curve to it too. Thanks for looking and HH!

Interesting design and material the big one is made from, our pottery is usually brown.

Glad to see you're back out there. Nice finds. Keep looking and good luck. I'm finding nothing in my creek.

I'm not sure if it's supposed to be black or if it's creek stain and don't want to put it in anything strong to try to clean it due to it's age. I have one other that is thin like this and might be from the same pot, it's dark too. I also have more that are dark but are light in the curve. I've read that the black color that is inside some of my brown shards is where they put it upside down on a fire pit.

Thanks and the creeks need some good flooding rains I think. About 15' above this spot it's a mess of downed trees and a huge root ball and driving me crazy because I know there's stuff there but can't get to it. In this general area I have found the most pottery and the little Palmer point that's in my avatar. The only advice I can give is to find a spot where the sand and small pebbles have washed into and rake it with a garden rake or dig and sift it, it's hard work especially when it's 90+ degrees. The good thing about creek hunting is it's a lot cooler in the water and shade trees once you've run the snakes off if there are any and put on your water shoes. I pile the sand/pebbles up on the bank and when it rains it washes and brings up stuff I missed. Good luck and HH!

I hope so! Bringing sand up from the bottom also brings the honey bees to the creek and I love them but they get on my nerves when they fly around after I splash them. Adds to the challenge lol
