Why do creek beds seem to be rich in civil war lelics?

That should be relics and not lelics.

Items would be more likely to be lost while a soldier was trying to cross the creek. Either by wading, jumping or swimming across. Also, the soldiers could have used the creek as a natural trench or bunker for protection. Just a guess on my part.

Often creeks uncover ground that was not a creek in that time period. They shift and move collecting the heavy objects and then re-bury them in time.
