Found a few things today

[rock]

I went to a creek I have only been to 1 time so far so this was the 2nd trip. I didnt think Id need my yak cause the water was low and lots was showing. Needless to say I should of brought it cause I hit a deep spot and the banks were to steep so I turned around and headed back. Found a couple nice pieces and the rest was just interesting things and most are broken except the 2 and the bottle. Fall is coming by all of the leaves dropping. HH, rock

Looks promising and maybe you should look there more often. Wonder how old the bottle is and what it was used for.

Nice finds! Looks like you find a lot of cool spots that haven't been searched extensively. That's always fun since you never know what your going to pull out next. Any idea what the iron ring is? I was out yesterday and found a silver ring with a blue lapis center just sitting there. HH

I posted it in the bottle forum and they said it was from 1920-1930 time frame. Im giving it to my friend he saves them. I also found another whiskey cork top but the lip was missing half so I left it. If they were older I would of kept them.

I get permission from owners so its all private land I hunt so I am usually the only one in the creeks.
The ring looks to be natural iron ore but I did find it on a section where I found the knife so I kept it. Never know they might of used it or the last flood could of left it there.

Nice finds. That looks like it is a good creek to look.

Looks like that creek holds promise. Congrats and good luck.

this post is a perfect example of the fact that items being found in close proximity have NOTHING to do with each other. we all have found things in the same spot like that. I have a pamplin pipe that i found a few feet away from a 70's brass dope pipe. when we try to point that out to new fellers, they often get real butt-hurt and start to call us frauds. it gets real old real fast.

I have looked at it many times and even though its a strange shape I do believe it is natural just like the 2 pieces on the lower left bottom row. They looked good wet but after I washed them and they dried I now know they are nothing but geofacts. Lots of those kind of rocks in this creek but I will go again next week and have another look. The owner doesnt care just as long as I let him know when I am there.

For some reason I said the lower left but meant the lower right. The 2 on the left are broken pieces. Both bases and the one on the far left is thick like a piece of a flint ax or a huge knife.
