Re: More sifter finds From Palo Pinto County

Hi again Leonard. Nice going on the blower, Try it on a very windy day that might blow the dust clear. This dry surface hunting come up sometime in the last 6 weeks and I suggested a leaf rake, Maybe it was in response to your input [ or not ]. In any case the power blower reminded me of my youth in artifact hunting [ six years ago ! ]. It was time before we even knew about camps, strictly field and stream hunting. We had done medium that summer but I recall we were " shattered " when fall arrived. Even the lightest scattering of fallen leaves destroyed those productive gravel bars.

We took a small gas blower from work to the creeks, It did the job but using it on a camp site is better than a mile of creek. It was just a phase in life I'm glad is finished.

I would think that modern technology blower is much better than a rake....clearing crevasses or clearing the hardpack that tends to buildup around plants [ cactus ? ? ].

GOOD CONTINUED LUCK.
