Gravel bar pics

[CreekSide]

Have any pictures of your areas you hunt? I must of seen 5 just like this one but really didn’t find much. Just flakes and one broken tip. It’s been over a month since my last hunt. Some of you already know but I’ve done something to my back which causes my legs to get a numbness feeling. They think it’s a pinched nerve. I’m getting tested this week and hopefully will get some type of answer as to what it is. Idk if anyone has had it before here but the pain goes from my hip all the way to my foot. It started about 2 months ago in my left leg. That pain subsided and went away then about a month ago it moved to my right leg. Hopefully it can be fixed.

That is a great picture Older.
From my experiences I would say your chances of finding Paleoindian artifacts are far better hunting gravel bars rather than fields. Also the odds are in your favor of finding more intact points hunting the streambeds. Looking at your picture I see a bar exactly with the type of rock I like to hunt.

Thanks, makes me want to get back onto the bar, the river has been up for probably a month and a half or two. Things should have moved around and reset everything. There’s always a few new bones after floods maybe this will be the time a paleo point shows up.

I just looked that up and yes it sounds like it. I have to call the insurance company today and see what and where I am approved. The doctor I have now wants to skip therapy and do a MRI then shots in the lower back. I’d say the pain level is very close to when I broke the leg in 2004.
A guy at work just had his knee replaced and after 2 months he is back to work. Swelling is still there but he says no pain is present. I hope your knee has the same results. Best of luck

Go see a chiropractor for the back issue, before you let them put shots in your back. I’ve had sacro iliac joint issues for years keep your hamstrings stretched out and try a chiropractor.

Thank you sir. I opted for the new robotic surgery. My surgeon said my knee was very bad. Little known to much I teach Olympic Fencing every week. Knee was messed up from football at 19. He said I wore it down to pure bone on bone. lol I walked hundreds of miles chasing artifacts.
I am now 5 months in and my knee sounds like rice crispies.
Currently learning the strength to climb trees for my bow hunting.
Miss y’all but sure have enjoyed seeing your fin. Great hunters all

That sounds like sciatica. I had that for a short time and luckily it went away. Hope yours goes away as well.

It reminded too of sciatica as well. Anyone who has had will know how painful it can be.

Home exercise helps

Gary we have lots of gravel bottom creeks / streams here in Missouri and as soon as mid Missouri dries out some more I'm going out to get us some !

I just got back from Missouri. Me and my youngest had a little creek adventure to some waterfall. If you like those creeks you should check out some in Kentucky

I have pitched nerve as well. Due to slight leg length difference. I small shim Inside one of my boots is better then anything a doc ever advised or proscribed. Took a couple weeks to notice how much it helped.

Update on the leg. So far it’s feeling better with some home exercise and leg curls morning and evening. That was a long 2 months and I hope it never returns. Thanks for the advice

Does your lower back/hip hurt as well? And or the muscle on 1 side of your spine swell and get tight.

Lower back today hurts. I had nerve therapy done with needles and electrical stimulation on my leg which helped that part. Idk if they can do it on your back or I would

I had it done to my arm, for 3 years it was
Seized up and I couldn’t move it, and my fingers were curled real tightly from an elbow break. I wasn’t supposed to be able to use it again but now I only lost 11% mobility of it so it’s back to brand new if you ask me. Grateful.

I broke my leg in 3 places in 2004 and was told I’d never walk again but I can walk I just can’t run. Glad to hear you are doing better now

Same to you. Stay safe and healthy! This heat is holding me back this weekend. Had big plans but I think I’m going to hit the lake and float around.
