#tumbled glass

[shadyufo]

It's been a while since I posted any new creek finds! There have been a LOT of neat ones lately so instead of my usual small "plate of forbidden snacks" photo layout I just arranged a few of them on a tabletop.

Pictured are: deer skull, deer jawbone, cow teeth, horse tooth, muskrat tooth, deer toe bone, old toy car, a really neat toy boat from the 1970s/80s, an old melted milk glass marble, weird little iron concretion, a cute little yellow tile, nice chonky pieces of bonfire glass, a rainbow of pretty tumbled bits of old pottery, china, and glass, a cow ear tag, and oodles of crinoids, brachiopods, bryozoans, and other neat fossils.

Also found: someone's checkbook (empty), old cellphone (found a couple of those down there lately), Great White "Once Bitten" cassette tape, and Melissa Forney's "Pizzazz: Songs for the Writing Classroom" CD lol.

And there are FOUR special secret finds:

Three bits of uranium glass and an old piece of china that lights up under the black light too.

It's been a while since I posted some creek finds! A LOT of really neat little treasures have washed up recently. Here are a few of them!

On this plate of creek finds we have 5 and 1/2 cow teeth, a goat or sheep tooth, opossum tooth, rabbit tooth, an old button, probably my favorite brachiopod fossil I've ever found (it's solid white quartz!!), some really exceptional crinoid fossils, first gastropod fossil I've ever found down there, loads of other rad fossils, some tumbled pieces of soda bottles from the late 1800s or very early 1900s, a piece of an old crock butter churn, lots of other neat tumbled glass and pottery pieces, some nice quartz crystals, a 25 year old plastic toy from Burger King lol, and maybe my favorite piece on the plate—a bisque porcelain duck head from an old figurine.

Amidst all of these awesome treasures there is also a special secret find—

It's another nice little chunk of creek-tumbled uranium glass! Looks like part of an old candy dish.

New haul of creek treasures!

On this plate of little gems we have a gorgeous red mineral-stained cow tooth, a deer tooth, squirrel tooth, a very old white teardrop-shaped bead or hat pin, the bed from an old metal toy pickup truck, a beautiful array of fossils including crinoids, brachiopods, bryozoans, and horn coral, a piece of what would have been a gorgeous little perfume bottle, lots of other pretty bits of vintage tumbled glass and pottery, and more!

Haven't posted any creek finds in a while!

This round includes an old toy car, a cow tooth, partial rabbit skull, skunk femur, handle from an old toy gun, hag stones, an almost-whole old milk glass cold cream jar (would love to find a whole one of those down there sometime!), loads of bits of tumbled pottery, china, and glass, and some great fossils too!

And speaking of guns, I found this down there recently too—

It's an Edison Giocattoli toy gun. They were made in Italy and this one is likely from the 1980s or so.
