It's a pretty small area. It can't be a very big deposit.
The rectangular medicines were all in a stretch no longer than a basketball court. I believe their shape prevents them from being washed too far by the current.
I found no medicines exposed on the bank but dug several from the gravel bed. I believe casual passers by pick up any exposed ones as being something old.
Round beverage bottles and food jars I found maybe twice as far downstream and spread out exposed on the bank. I attribute that to rolling and tumbling and/or floating further during floods.
Also being black with mineral deposit and algae, the old beverage bottles and food jars looked modern and boring so unmotivated collectors left them lay. I almost did myself. Glad i looked closer.
