Well, first to Tehuacana. It was very nice to meet you and Flicker at the arrowhead show yesterday. It was my first time to the Frederickburg location (had been to Boerne a couple times in the past) and it was an awesome show.
Now, two things for you Hal. First, you are welcome. I am glad you like the two small points. I wonder how they knapped them so small??? Second, and this may sound like I made it up, but it's the truth. I had spent the majority of my time at the show looking for and admiring the paleo points made of petrified palmwood. When I first saw you, you showed me your new acquisition of the palmwood piece of modern art. Palmwood lithics and tiny arrow points!! Great show!!
Paul I left without seeing that frame. Shoot me a picture of it. I had to get back home and take care of my kids. Dogs and Longhorns !!! Looks like Britton dug in all that mud here.

Paul, it was really enjoyable to meet you. As always, I wish we spent more time there. Even though we were there for two hours, it just feels like we were rushed and never got to time to stop and visit with everybody.
I'm always interested in what kinds of points are found and the conditions (soil, terrain, etc.) that they're found in. All of ours are surface finds in the red sandy soil Frio county has so much of. No creek hunting (always dry), no middens along the rivers, and no digging as everything is on top of the ground. So it's fascinating to hear how artifacts are found in other areas and the stories that go with them.
Thanks
San Angelo is in Tom Green County. We have 3 Rivers, the North, Middle, and South Concho Rivers. We have two major creeks, Spring Creek and Dove Creek. Camps all up and down all of them, most on private property. I grew up looking a lot on ranches near the springs of Spring Creek. Lots of "Indian Mounds" on top of the hills. We never did any digging, just lots of walking. Frio, Ensor, and Pedernales are the major types. The finest Pandale I have ever seen was found on Spring Creek. None of these ranches are open to me any more, deer hunting is the major attraction. Rocky ground and no digging in your area sounds very familiar to me. All the best. Paul
