Chrisner's South Perd Site.

The South Perd Site tested yesterday! I dug 7 hours with a swing pick, and found 8 points. The best layer is about 3 feet down with a camp line running about 15 inches thick. It looks like the camp will go all the way to the shelter rocks. I have been told that someone earlier found a large high quality Angostura point out of the bottom. If anyone knows who this person is, I would love to see that point.

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

Very good and Identifying the "camp line" is a really good situation. If you do a hard copy of these finds it can be displayed on the sign in garage wall of memories...Left side is recent finds

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

Here's that nice Angus. That camp has been a producer at times. Congrats on your finds. Nice stuff.

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

WHAT..

You mean the Idahoe find is where your digging ????

I was there just last weekend and all I found was potato peels

I miss bat boy.

I wonder if he's still hunting bin laden, in the caves of afghanistan

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

Idahoe, thank you for showing me the photo of the Angostura you found. Sometime back in the summer of 2000 out in the flats in front of the existing shelter there were 3 Angosturas found all of them 4 inches and over, along with an Angostura drill I believe was nearly 5 inches long. I look for more of these big Angosturas to come out as we dig toward the buried shelter rocks at the south perd site. I hope I'm lucky enough to find a big Angostura for myself this time. Here is a picture of one them found in year 2000, the top row on the right.

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

Thats a very nice board John. We visited the place where you dug all those points south of the shelter. Barefoot really dug a nice hole out of the bank. We did not do as well as you but pulled out a doozy. I have no idea what it is. I plan on going back real soon.

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

Wow Idahoe that is a crazy point!!! I like the nontypical/exotic stuff because you don't see it as often

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

What an Angostura, what a small valley for 9000 years of artifacts....and STILL finding more.

Re: Chrisner's South Perd Site.

If you would like to drop that off at my place for a while I will certainly take good care of it. Very cool artifact. Thanks for posting it.
