Yesterday Creek walk Slug Plate & Blob Top, soda TN

Sometimes the easy part of hunting creeks is the obvious discoveries! Such as this Dr. Pepper , shining from a washed bank and sometime they're not so obvious.

When I was child I read a book about Daniel Boone , an Native American guide told him, to be a successful hunter: take one step and ten looks! At first glance , I saw a fruit jar , in the bank. Expand the photo, and you're see more, would you have seen the others , if the fruit jar hadn't been so obvious?

If you walk too fast, you may just see this drift as a pile of trash. I investigated and a hidden jewel was in the middle of some junk.

There's a left side , a right side and the middle to every channel. Slow Down and search the banks, top to bottom. You have to turn over a few items. Don't assume somethings new, that modern brown beer bottle may be a scarce Amber SS Coke.

What's up ahead , is not as important as what's below and to your side! I nearly tripped looking at a drift covered with shards! Old millstone.

CreekWalker · Oct 1, 2015

But drifts are important, the shards give you the scoop as to the type of bottles , old and new in that section of stream. Probing the sand bar from the upstream side downward, you may discover complete ones washed into this soft backstop!

Nice presentation and site. But where are the cleaned-up bottles' pics?

Wear polarized glasses or sun glasses on bright days. This flask was in a bright pool and was really hard to spot. I check all flasks for slug plate or embossed trademark, although 99 percent are plain or the federal law era , 1935 to 1963. I've seen my digging partners step over them with barely a glance , that is until I found a TN small town one with a slug plate.

Love looking at all those insitu picks! I would like to see close ups of some of your finds.

CreekWalker · Oct 1, 2015

They're soaking, mud up to their necks! Here is another jar related item , hidden by glare. Can you spot it? Will have them on soon.
