Favorite Finds. Diggin Texas. Yahooo !

Hal took me diggin Christners this weekend. He found some points, I suffered heat prostration. Man oh Man. Now that summer is here I will start diggin at night. Idaho boys get with it. Hal had a new undig midden to explore but.. It was all rock and no points. I am trying out a new high resolution camera as flint is hard to photograph. I am still working with it. Trying to keep from shaking at its sensitive. Different backrounds.. I have pictured some great finds from TJ Jennings, Nachos, Lampasas, Junction and East Texas dig finds. I hope you enjoy them. By the way, all points are authentic except the Golden Mano. I painted it ! It will be a Digfest Prize. Who Gets it?

The big Tang !

Now that makes all that dirt, heat, and long days worth the effort. Even a day screening with no finds is better then sitting at home. Just to get out and enjoy new company and have fun is worth every minute of slinging dirt. Good show there Idahoe.

Re: Favorite Finds. Diggin Texas. Yahooo !

Thanks, Ken. I have had a lot of good times diggin Texas. Many times I worked all day without so much a a piece of flint (ask Hal) but at the end of the day its the good friends that count. And a special thanks to the folks that work hard to provide screen digs and allow the diggers on their land. I look forward to diggin with you and Bettie. Cheers !

Re: Favorite Finds. Diggin Texas. Yahooo !

All beautiful examples of their type, good show covers it nicely. We apreciate the time & effort it took you to upload, download & sideload all those pics.

I would say your new camera and techniques so far are very good. I made a serious attempt at some home camera work, like about 18 inches away. I made a PVC pipe "scaffold" to hold the camera.

As good ( terrific ) as digital cameras are, I discovered a few "flaws" when getting into very critical flint pics....
The many facets of knapped flint reflects lighting in strange, bad ways. Once it is decided what light a given camera likes, Flourecent, incandescent, sunlight, diffused natural...Then the BACKROUND color is a serious factor....it seems that no matter what the tone of the flint may be, the metering system is governed by the majority of what it sees.
I wanted a shot of all my bird points on a yellow felt field.....I still dont have it. The entire yellow is a discusting tan and the flint color

So again, good show

Re: Favorite Finds. Diggin Texas. Yahooo !

congrats on all of those beautifull finds. the golden mono,i was looking at 1 night and was trying to figure out a way to further the joke and clicked on the pic to see if i could get a bigger pic on screen to take a pic. so i could tweak it and it took me to your photo bucket so i copied it to mine and tweaked it from there to make the titanium one. i hope you didnt mind.while i was there i saw that killer c tang and was hoping you would post it.by the way my brother would probably run you a foot race for that zella,awsome.[[Hyper]
