last trip to rolands

Rolands jan10

all in all we found 75 points, these are the better points. We found many other items, grinding stones, choppers, some of the nicest scrapers i have seen, and bones, bones, bones. It was a great couple of days. Roland is a super guy, and a GREAT host. This place has the best concentration of points I have seen. We simply moved the top 18-24" of throw, and the layer directly under that had everything in it.

Gman. Looks like you have mastered the pic thing. Cool Beans.. Great Finds. Did you dig last weekend? I was going to go down but Roland said it was still a bit wet. I am hopin for some dry weather. Thanks for sharing.

Flint fever...

Re: last trip to rolands

these were all found the 3rd weekend of Jan. it was cold, but dry. I suggest going over to the wire fence near the last remaining tree( we went away from the river using the tree as a center point, now I would go TOWARDS the river), back off about 1-2 feet, and go down about 2 feet until you find undug soil. You will run into an undug layer of mostly compacted sand. This is the layer. Easy digging!!
Have you been back to Chrisners? We KILLED em in that camp I believe you helped find. I will post those pics also.

Y'all found some good stuff, that shumla on the right is super

Re: last trip to rolands

Where is Roland's and how much is it?

Re: last trip to rolands

the Shumla was the find of the trip. It is heat treated, and the I guess the heat caused it to change to 3 distinctly different colors. On one edge, it is BRIGHT orange. The drill is also SWEET, and also heat treated to change the colors. The tip is black. I found a broken Castroville that is 5+ inches long, and sweet, but a chunk out of one side. Darn.

Yeah, we'd like to see what you found. . When we saw the amount of labor that went into the landscape work
We said " Wow, these guys must have been doing really good.

The Idaho potato lunch was about right in the middle of the pic. N.B. Ida, Note that they " assumed" you fully dug under your lunch spot !

Re: last trip to rolands

Here is that black Angostura from Christners. We moved a lot of dirt. I have never seen a black one. Its 3.35 inches and one of the best I have ever found. It lives in the good case !
