This week's creek finds 7/4 - 7/12/2015

I found a few things in one spot of the creek this week- 7 pottery shards, 2 pieces of charcoal (one in the pic) and 2 tiny flakes. I took pics of the flakes individually to show the curve in one and the bulb in the other. Also, I posted a red color rock because I remember a discussion about red rocks. This rock is pink quartz I'm pretty sure and chipped off of a larger one, also I saw tiny plant fossils on it like I see in most the pottery I find. I found two 1930-1940's nail polish bottles and posted them in the bottles section if anyone has input on them. Found a couple of old shoes too but they were missing their mate. All in all an interesting week for creek hunting...thanks for looking!

Nice variety of finds Peaches! That little white fella at the bottom "might" be a thumbnail scrapper. I hesitate to say it "is" due to repercussion from sceptics. I'm trying to sound smart there but truth is I didn't even know what one was 2 days ago before a forum member informed me I "might" have one too I didn't even know about. The red stone is a keeper too even if it shows no sign of work. Nice site you found.

The sherds are keepers but the rest should go into the rock garden. The red rock looks to be cracked from creek tumble and the flakes are just reduction pieces. Nice color on the flakes though should be something nice waiting for you. Now you have to find it.

Thanks for the pics rock
Peaches, I would keep most of the flakes from that site. They don't take much room. Put them in a small bag or shoebox. Even if they weren't the finished product they could have had some human element to them & that makes them better than gravel.

Yep I keep all the flakes because I don't find them often and they do have that human element to them, makes them special to me. Hoping to find what was made from them someday.

Yep it's cracked from creek tumble and wasn't really saying it was anything other than what it is. Hope to eventually run across the rest of it due to the color. Not everyday I find a nice cobble of pink quartz.

Flakes are a good sign. You'll find that point with your name on it eventually.
