    Flooded creek finds

    I'm in Nashville right now and after the flooding 6 feet of soil got washed away in some areas on creeks. At 1 location I found 100s of bottles and shards. I'm gonna go back once it warms up again and search a little more.

    First Dump i've found!

    Earlier this weekend I found my first dump. Pretty easy to identify as it had a car in it! I believe it was a 58 Pontiac chieftain. There was a lot of scrap metal and I actually found 4 or 5 dumps but only searched one. The house site had a house there in the mid 1800s but did not dig deep so...

    Old Iron piece

    I don't know what this is but I found it by a creek. It weighs about 30-35 pounds so it's relatively large but I'm not sure if it's even old. Any help would be great.

    Best source for old maps

    I haven't done much in a long time but now I may. I found this source for old maps that even allows you to overlay them. Just find your location and mess around. I found that my house was on a civil war line. Here it is: https://www.oldmapsonline.org/

    Questions about some creek finds

    I found these in a creek and was wondering if anyone had any info on them. I believe the one labeled lanta, which I assume meant Atlanta, may be a coke bottle piece. Another one appears to have the word cancer and an underlined A on it. All info is appreciated.

    Is it worth digging?

    Have any of you ever dug near the site of an old steel mill. I know of one but it is near a pretty developed area but I believe it could have something. What do you think?

    What is your weirdest find?

    What is your weirdest or just most surprising find? Mine would have to be a Pennsylvania firefighters button from the civil war era that was not even buried. I don't have any pictures right now but will have some later.

    possible turquoise find

    I found this rock that appears to be turquoise in a creek in Tennessee. There have been no confirmed turquoise finds in Tennessee and the only other thing it could be is slag but it is too waxy looking.

    2 shards

    I found these shards at a field by a house built in the late 1700s. One of the shards clearly has the word Timore in all caps and the other shard appears to be a bottle top with no seam so I believe it may have been a pontilled bottle. The other shard (the clear one) looks like part of a...

    Huge dump but can't dig

    Today I came across a huge dump that has 1000's of bottles but is at a state park. This is the biggest dump I have ever found and the bottles at the surface appear to be from the 60's.
