D2 Ranch Update
I can't believe this place is just 15 miles from my house. I went out and dug all Saturday. It's a really big camp with flint everywhere. It's 15 miles south of Mineral Wells on 281. Mr. Dunaway is a super nice guy too. He is going to start doing big sifter digs with a backhoe soon.

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Is that Doyle Dunaway running that site? What is the cost per day? Do you have his phone number? |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
This is TERRIBLE, just goes to prove that life is cruel ! ! ! So there you are with one of the finest screen sifters in north Texas, no bird point is safe...... NOW you've got a dig site with nothing but worked pieces big enough to fit through a donut hole !! I like the flint, it's a big change from CenTx varieties. Life's cruelties continue....Now you probably have to upgrade your basic earth moving equipment, THEN if thats not bad enough, you should start to find more and LARGER finds that will require an Overtons book. Nice going |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Hey Hal. Yeah can you believe that I make a bird sifter and find big stuff like this? I really like that Marshal. I wish it were all there but I think it's still a nice piece. The flint at his place is all rainbow colored. Lot's of reds too. I can't complain. |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Brad, yeah that's him. 75 per day for a screen. I think around 150 for a backboe screen dig when he begins that. Are you around this area? Send me an email. bluesurf1978@yahoo.com Thanks |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Ya see Travis! It's been less than a year since you were worried you wouldn't find a decent place to dig...............wyy it's practically in your back yard! Makes the fuel costs easier too. You know theres more than one Marshall in there with your name all over it. May the next one whole & a G-10! Glad to hear about it.

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Hey Mike, I can't believe that there is a pay dig so close. But I've got to give props to Leonard. He's been letting me dig on his place for a good while now. Man, I've got places to dig everywhere now- |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Where would we be in this world without friends? You know what they say.........Birds of a feather.... It's so nice to dig anywhere when the meters not running! A bad day at a pay dig ..can happen. It tends to make ya want to down an extra brew. Hope that don't happen. Any Paleo layer at the D-2?

Re: D2 Ranch Update
I hear ya Mike.... I have not seen or heard of any Paleo pieces yet. I thik Mr. Dunaway told me of a Paleo or possible Paleo type he found. But there is so much cmap ans so little has been dug yet that it wouldn't suprise me to see a Paleo area come out of this. |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Travis. . . . How bout this piece of ancient history ! I seem to remember the D2 was only open a couple of days when you found these pieces, it might be interesting to see what discoveries or perhaps camp sites might have been found this past 2 months ! |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
Travis, keep me posted on what you find. I haven't gotten out there yet, but I plan on it soon. I want to do a piece in the magazine on it. Thanks! |

Re: D2 Ranch Update
He Pat, I sure will. I wrote that article and sent it along with some pics to Mr. Dunnaway. I was thinking he was going to send it to you but not sure. |
