Started in a pretty wide creek that leads to the Ohio river at 8 this morning and stopped at 3, got nothing real valuable but got some good variety so it was a good day with my friends. Also stopped in some different yards of people we know along the way. We took out piles and piles of trash as well and would have my dad meet us at certain places in his truck to haul it all off. Here's the haul for the day:
1) real badly stained ball jar
2) a blank medicine with some tar kind of stuff on the inside, had a cork in it when we found it
3) broken glass that I liked even though it's broken
4) some kind of pot?
5) over 70 mason jar lids (zinc and porcelain)
6) rusted ring, probably from farm equipment
7) some kind of old knob that I though had silver on it at first
8) lip stick tube with lipstick still inside
9) broken "California fig syrup" medicine
10) broken something? Thought it was a marble when I saw it but I have no idea now, it's very thick
11) 2 pieces of broken china
12) lucky horse shoe
13) second knife of the year, even after heavy cleaning it won't close, it's very cheap
14) boy scout emblem, says "strengthen the arm of liberty" on it
15) necklace, thought it was gold but there's no markings, any ideas?
16) 12 and 20 gage shot gun shells
17) some clad and a wheatie
18) 4 marbles
19) arrow head
20) usable scissors! Practically brand new
Thanks for looking any input on what you think something is is greatly appreciated! Thanks again!

Just my eyes man, the creek was really low and wherever there was water it was clear so it was easy to see stuff. Look in the banks of a creek along bends where stuff gets stuck or on sand or gravel banks. I find marbles in areas where the creek suddenly gets deep and they sink and get trapped there where they settle at the bottom. That's just my experiences, I'm pretty new
 

Like the Liberty! Looks like you had a lot of fun

You cold always find where an old house is and use a probe to find an ash layer, that would be a privy or a bottle dump. Then dig it out. I don't know much about it but I'm sure if you posted in the glass and bottles section they would give more info, I have a privy I know of that is exposed and has never been dug but I need some help with it so if you're ever in cincinnati let me know and we can go dig it

i spent most of the day looking for privies today, dang things are hard to find

If you're near cinci I could use the help!
 

Nice work man!:icon_thumright: not sure how cold it is down there in ohio but here in michigan 7.5 hours wading in a creek would not be pleasant kudos for the dedication!
