Adam if your going to keep tring the creeks -and- rivers, invest in a good pair of hip or chest wadders I prefer the hip myself. You can get a good pair with 200 to 1000 thinsulate for less than $100.00. I got 200h thin. for spring and fall and 1'000 thin. for winter when really cold. Cold wet feet not good in winter, joe.

the pic was after a small shower last year early summer. I have found 5 nice poiints in this creek just last year, after every down pour, id go check the 3/4 mile stretch of it that has not been altered by a landowner. I start from near the end where it enters the Bonpal, (our big creek that takes all the water from the highland and dumps into the wabash.) and head upstream most all of every one comes in the first 4 or 5 turns of the creek. two littler feeders enter it just up from there and have had no luck up there. for our bigger creeks around here and hunting in them......there is no chance. there is way to much farmers run off of top soil to see anything but MUD! So where im from here in southeastern illinois, you have to find creeks that handle alot of water before they travel a great distance, or the accumulation of mud is just too much. Here is another picture of my favorites, I call this one fossil creek this is where the i found that fossil I have in my photos.

Well as promised here's what I pulled out of my usual hunting ground....
It's considerably smaller than the last point I posted. However, on the base of this point there's a small hole or a really deep chip. Plows are great for farmers, not so good for arrowheads LOL

Yeah Hopefully maybe a clovis this year, there has been two found in this are in the last 5 years and they have been sweet little beauties! This creek is where Stillwellfromhell was discovered, an even smaller more rocky creek. In my opinion any creek is good if there is good rocky/sandy bars in it.

I have found most of my artifacts in a creek or a river. spend most of time doing this because of the scenery i spose. U have to take your time,and wait for the water to go down after a good rain.
I will post some of my creek finds. creek hunting can be very rewarding u never know what you will find.
