Creek polished travelers

Had The idea of starting a thread about the points we find that must have traveled miles. The ones you can barely make out flake scars on.

Wether they laid in a spot for decades to centuries with the constant flow of sand and gravel running across them or they were tumbled down the Creek. Show them if you got them!

Funny Jason What I mean is how they get the polish. Could they have been in just the right spot to get polish with the annual flooding each time and or traveling a little every flood.

Actually makes me wonder what it did look like before all the tumble/polish.

Here is the only other one so far, found on a high bank about 50 feet away from the above:
