Went out to Rolands for the weekend with the family had a blast.Thanks Roland.Got to see all kinds of flint fall in those screens of Nachos at Rolands saw some castrovilles, 3 kervilles ,half a gorget,a 3" serated ensor. Saw more then I can remember. My family and I went out Fri. nite and stayed till mon. afternoon hand-digging, fishing, watching all the dozens of people screening.My son found the red perd. my wife found her first point ever she started screaming it was a perfect frio with a needle tip and I found my first marcos and its see-threw.The blade at the end was not found at Rolands I found it in austin before i left.

Way to go Mike! glad the wife and kid got to find something

Good one Mike, Family Flint & Fun reports are good to see.
Is this a trend we see ?. . . Your the second family report where the Dad did not display a find !

Do you know a placde to go arrowhead hunting close to me - I'm between Houston & Galveston.

Em - Taky1@aol.com

I would think that area is not exactly an arrowhead hotspot BUT I dont think there is a square foot of TX
that has not seen visits by ancient hunters at one time or another. Any drainages small & large are the place to
start looking. This may not be right in your back yard but where I-35 crosses the brazos is a very good location for a bit of flint but mainly very unique
fossils ( like sloth bones )
Good gravel beds, the water has to be low ( between upcountry rain events )

CORRECTION, , , that should read::::

Where I-10 crosses the Brazos.

silly Hal, I found the Marcos, I stated that up there what I didn't say was I found lots of brokes but just didn't post them. Anyway it was more important that they find something, now they have flint fever too.

Lynda I would start a new post might get better results.Also the library could help maybe find where indians might have lived or what kinds where in your area, ask some old-timers in your area the ones that have been in the same place for the past 50+ years, creeks, washes,gravel beds,plowed fields. good luck

Your right, I misread the report. So there IS hope for Dads
