didnt get to dig much, i spent most of my time cleaning out and sifting the six inches of dirt that flowed into my hole per recent rain.
found nothing but brokes, not pictured, in the dirt, but here is what i did find.
the montell is 3 and 1/4 inches, and the edwards are 1 and 1/2 and one inches. the chopper is pretty big too.


to bad the montell has impact damage repair, if not it would have been a trily awesome point, its paper thin, and white flint, not patina!

Good practice cleaning out rained in silt. . . only 7 more months of this pattern. Sort of like
hydraulic gold mining.!!
Good show.

I might as well use your opening topic Tuck...I even got a Montell like yours with "some impact damage "

The secret to easy damp soil digging. . . find big ones !



AND, this Marshall is white too, , , pure washed down, sun bleached " patina "



Sometimes I have to operate on the prin****l of " it only takes one good one to make your day "

Wow that's a great Marshall that would definately make my day, and also thos soil conditions look familiar, it was pretty damp out my way too. This morning we got about two inches so I have a feeling I won't be digging for some time, our trench probably has ducks swimming in it about now. P.s. Do y'all ever find any oval bodied montells, all I've ever found are triangle montells so the one above is kind of unique, for me at least.

love that marshall hal

I would say most of the Montells we find in this area are of the oval variety. I hadn't thought much about it up to now.
It does seem the more carefully crafted pieces, with those really crisp teeth edges are all
straight [ triangle ] sided.
