Found a pretty good spot on the river

[Whynotnow?]

I started out my day wading to a spot where there was a mill dam to do some detecting. About an hour in I was pulling up a handful of gravel to locate my ten millionth fishing sinker and I noticed a flake and some pottery. A couple more handfuls and there was a broken point. Then, out came what I am assuming is a spearhead. After that I just started digging in the mud with my hands, it seemed like every other handful had a point of some shards. Will post them all in the native forum as well. I also found some other odds and ends. The coolest is the US navy spoon handle that was bent into a ring. I’d love to know the age on that if anyone can tell. It was a really fun day.

I started out my day wading to a spot where there was a well known bridge/ferry and mill dam to do some detecting.

Oh wow. Congrats!!

Lots of neat finds. I agree that you should go back there to find more goodies. Never know what is waiting.

Nice hunt you had!

You need to go back there with a screen and get more arrowheads! Take a 5 gal bucket and cut out most of bottom and replace with 1/4” screen. I’ll bet you’ll hit many more. Lucky dog!!

I'd take a mask and snorkel next trip.

Don't worry I plan on it! All I can think about is what else might be there in the mud.

I'd take a mask and snorkel next trip.

I have a mask but the water usually isn't super clear, especially after I start digging around in it. I think i may give it a once over with the mask before I start next time though.

Pretty good you claim?
Heck I'd be putting that up there in the really good title easily.
Then again I'm partial to the recoveries of the points.
Well done-and best of luck on the return recoveries.

Yeah it was great. Easily the most full and heaviest my finds pouch has ever been.
