Could be he was wrong about the date, even in 1990 it was still a long time ago. I fully believe his story was true, but I think the bigger question is after over 75 years if it's still there. I'm thinking that at some point they may have dredged that little creek out and found it. At any rate I mainly posted it for the benefit of someone who lived close by or even in that little town so it would be no big deal to look for it. He had some incredible stories from his time in the war, I tried to get him to write a book about it but he wasn't interested. He died in 2008 so all those stories are lost like tears in rain.
