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