Re: CALL WHEN YOU GET CLOSE 512-426-6639 Floyd & Tammy Cantwell
great directions, I must go soon. it looks like a great dig! cant wait to meet B.I.N.G.O. and bingo was his name o. cant wait to smell me some puppy breath.
will be out at this dig not this weekend but next anyone else going out there then? id like to go with someone who ahs been before!
Hey Nate, I might be out there next weekend. I have dug there before so I am little familiar with what's going on. I will let you know early next week what day I will be out there.
Nate, went Friday and the site is being dug very fast. I was told there were 8 people on Thursday and there were 2 others with me yesterday. I'm sure there was a big crowd today as well. I would recommend going in the next week as the mound they are digging at the moment is pretty dug up. You'll notice not one post from the 8 people on Thursday, Either they didn't find much or don't want anyone else to see it. Just what I have seen and heard so take it or not. By the way here is what I found Friday. Had fun with Q and Todd, watched Todd dig his first point, congrats again.
Good update Gtwn, and good finds considering how much rock you had to move to get them Sounds Like Todd might be a bit new ( or previously unlucky ? ) at digging, he did well for a first find in tough digging country.
As you point out, only wild speculation as to what others found. I have met MANY people at the screen digs and C3 that say they follow AD regularly yet never post a single find. Many reasons from keeping the "secret" to being called a DingDong for a "stupid" find.
You speaketh with straight tongue about " the site is being dug very fast". With a fixed stone base as a depth limit, it's just a question of how much rock chuckin somebody can do in 10 hours.
From the postings we have seen of the finds, there's a LOT of Yankee grade points making them a bit difficult to identify, what are you calling that complete Pt on the right ?
Hal, I am calling my point a Williams but it could be a castroville I suppose. As for Todd I believe he had done some surface hunting, this was just his first dig. 13 on saturday, Larry was expecting a good bunch. Still not a post out of anyone, I would hope at least one or two of them found something.
Oh they are finding em yankee points and all. I believe people fear drama. It seems to follow some folks. I know the kind gentalmen diggin next to me found three nice points with many hours to digg. He said he didnt know how to post pics, sure did know how to find em lol. I would love to hear about it before i head back. I got skunked @ ccc but sure do like the vastness and view at richards. Heres to loyalty and good luck to all
Found this nice mano, smooth as a babies behind, Friday the 6th, no points for me but did see G-Towns and Todds. Hopefully I can make it back out before its to late.
