THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR FUTURE FINDS FROM THE NEW SCREENING SITE,WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER - 17-18-19 2KX

I'll try and fill that up for you Hal this coming weekend. Stay tuned.

No tease at all, just covering needing a really lot of space. Notice AzAl alone is threatening needing extensive report space

Hey Hal and arizona al better save me a section! I'm feelin real lucky!

Hal,
In regards to my question - my email is winmeek@comcast.net
I had a couple of surprises at home, 2 pieces fit together to make a castroville, and that round thing with the hole in it looked more interesting after I cleaned it off. Will post it soon.
Fred

hope everyone makes it home safely!
refer to the prayer page.

The anti****tion is killing me.

By the time you get them photos up, Nacho will have cleared the site and have moved on to a new dig already!

Jk, im just anxious to get a looksy at what happened. That main page picture made me drool.

Don't know what Hal is up to, but he took a lot of pictures. That Montell Patrick found is the best, there was a good Castroville on Friday (didn't see it), Lewis found a nice Montell on Saturday, Arizona Al found a nice Langtry on Sunday, Nacho found a nice Pedernales on Sunday, some nice Ensors, and some killer bird points on Friday and Saturday. surely there were some other nice points I didn't see. Friday and Saturday were at the latest Chalk Bluff site, Sunday was back at the original Chalk Bluff site, by the church camp.
Fred

hal hal hal hal HAL
are you there.you had 538 hits before the first pic ever hit the board.
we are all patiently waiting.

We enjoyed meeting you out there Saturday Fred. We ended up with a few nice bird points ourselves. The drizzle didn't slow us down none. Made it a comfortable day.
Hal's probably still cleaning up that little puddle jumper he had for a rental car. Hard to sleep in though.

hey hal: i went to photo bucket so i could try to upload some pics and see if it was an internal problem. so i could tell you it was and if i were you i would go look for some more flint.alas it is not a p.b. problem it worked fine for me so i dont know what to tell you. so maybe you should go look for some more flint anyway. good luck with it because you could loose it all as i did a while back.

yeah both happened to me. but i was driving the computer under the influence.

Nexet my time Hal, I'll get my camera out and snap a few so you'll have a backup plan. You were doing such a great job as photographer that mine stayed in the truck. I was looking forward to seeing those little Ensors.

Quote from an emminent worthy...
"48 hits and not 1 pic. talk about a tease. cant wait till then.and i'll pull my left 1 for all who attend.(that means good luck to everyone who goes) [/quote]"

Now over NINE HUNDRED hits on this " reserved space " useless section.....You just going to let it die out ?

Hal,
Can you send me that picture I wanted? winmeek@comcast.net
Thanks,Fred

Here is a photo of the more interesting things I found last weekend. The corner notched point on the right I found in 2 pieces and didn't realize they fit together until I got home. The round thing with a hole is ground on the outside, but the hole is rough and doesn't look drilled, so I think it might be a geofact that an Indian picked up and tried to make into jewelry.

Het Fred. Did your points come from the new site or the church site from last weekend? thanks

They came from both. The bird points and round thingy came from the new site and the rest came from the church site. There was also big stuff coming out of the new site, just not as much. I still think they just need to do some test digging at the new site and that maybe the best area has not been found yet.

i really like that pink, big one in the middle row.Hal, I am saving lots of room for this weekend. Fingers crossed for good hunting areas.

Fred, I also found a hole at that site !
I kept it to clean it up and check it out later...



Its purely a flint nodule with a heavy limestoneish cortex...ZERO manmade work.
So now I have a useless geofact just like the Indian that first brought it home from the river

Saturday's finds @ the church included a G-12 Bell and an equally fantastic Ensor. Jimm from Lubbock spent half of a day @ my new handig and came out with a Bell, a really nice Covington, a broke Ensor and a birdie. I asked him to try going to church once in a while and he had a good outcome. I'll post images alittle later before the Texans run up the score board on the Cowboys.

ROLAND ...WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP AT THIS HOUR OF THE DAY ?? The Sunday cartoons dont come on til
9:00 O'clock

Good short N sweet report.

I never got a pic of your place last week ( but I will this comming week )...I was very impressed with the depth and the digger burying overhang the sandhogs were
creating...

For a BELL.....I'LL work under that overhang myself ( of course I'll have the good sense to tie a rope around my foot and secure the other end to a strong tree )

PS:: your river must be a raging kayakers delight today, we saw that big green and yellow mass on the WX channel that came down yesterday late

Interesting, your looks very similar. I wouldn't say useless though, you can always pretty it up with your drimmel.

Did you get any pictures of those hematite balls? I thought they were some type of concretion.

SH, not a drop of rain. Nacho got over an inch last night and we got nada. As far as the river is concerned it is beginning to look like the lower Rio Grande. A huge group of Cajuns were out and one of the guys hooked 30 thats right, 30 Bass in one hour. Marc from Austin coming out on Monday to dig where Jim left off. Man, he got down to over chest deep in that midden and it will not be long before Mr. Nacho comes over to tear it up. My dig deals with the other 5 sites are very much alive, but I really want to dig the property I just bought. Hal we may have to do a down river from my side of river and find where the east and west prong meet. I'm sure there is a huge camp there.

Ach zoa !...That deep is much deeper than any of the other hand dig work in the past....Lottsa good finds
might be still there.
I still like the idea of taking the road out

You've been listening to the experts......drainage intersections are just about guaranteed to have a camp
or two close by. Winter is the time for new explorations with the grass & brush at miniumums BUT ..
not during deer season

Fred, yes Hemetite pic...see Mssg Bd topic " INDIAN MARBLE FOUND BY LOUIS "

Roland,
When do you do your digs? Are they digs or screen digs? What is the cost? I am tied up for a few weeks but would like to come to your place.

Hal,
Are you sure that is Marcasite? The weathered exterior is red and rubs off red. Is hematite a product of marcasite weathering? Hematite nodules also called "Moqui marbles" are found in limestones which is some of the bedrock out in the area we were in. I am asking as concretions is something we don't talk much about in oil exploration.
Fred

Hey shallow Hal, I'm startin to feel real lucky again!

Pat, are you positive your getting lucky vibes or just feeling the early symptoms of the dreaded " CABIN FEVER " so common to residents up in your area ? Just 5 more months and the big thaw will start

Reeling down to this space we passed the pic of your Montell on the screen...Whatta memory !

I could hardly believe it when I saw this posting pop back up..OVER 1500 hits for an original posting just to
"reserve space "

Hal,
How is the Barksdale thing going. What are they doing different to make it work at a site that was supposedly dug out?
Fred

Yea I think it could be a bad case of the cabin fever!! We jjust got 9" of snow last night and we are suppose to get that much again on Sunday!! I'm missin tx.

Patrick,
Are you going to Nacho's this weekend? He is short a few on the head count to make it go.
Fred

I have a new phone and lost Nacho’s number, can you give it to me?
