CANTWELL DIG - 3

This is one BIG Elsie that showed up at my left elbow..

Photobucket

THEN , , , , a GeeX showed up at my right elbow ( with a find )

Photobucket

A very thin Montell that he personally " signed "

Photobucket

A heartstopper....made a beautiful flint T I N G as it was raked onto the drag tarp.

Photobucket



Photobucket

be it ever so humble

Photobucket

GeeX dug uphill, I was on the other side coming down. We had hopes of one finding an insitu base and an insitu corresponding tip on the other side ( turf war ??)
Note to first time diggers to this site.. GeeX and I were both chewing into a double snail and crinkly soil, bone level that was yielding almost exclusively Montell pieces.

Photobucket

Eventually the "wall" became a multi arched "viaduct"

Photobucket

GeeX finding something more than snails

Photobucket



Photobucket

Nice little blade, fairly thin. Speculation is that it was what cut the meat off the bones

Photobucket

Larry got a nice find digging into the 10 inches deep parking lot

Photobucket

Photobucket

GeeX's finds up to the time I headed out.. Note the stealth points !!!...

Photobucket

I was trying to take a pic of GeeX when this stoopid BASE TANG tried to hog into the frame

Photobucket

My day ( 11 hours, no lunch or cigarette breaks )

Photobucket

Ach, I forgot the lone bird point in the graduation pic.

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

All nice finds at Cantwell's. Good to find before the weather turns hot. That hard pack digging can take a toll on you. Wash them up and post some cleaned up pics.

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

wow Hal. Looks like day three was the best day. that base tang is super. how does it looked cleaned up?

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

as always good show Hal, looks like a good camp, is there alot of area left?

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

Wash them up and post some cleaned up pics.


Photobucket

So far the majority of flint is heavily bleached, as sure sign of highly acidic soil

Photobucket

Sandy, It's over 100 acres with some possible mounds yet to be touched, like all digs, the midden goes first and hopefully there is years of exploring and scratching
outlying areas.

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

hal who ever said you don't cleanup well?? they look great and the base tang is real nice. thanks for the pic. i've noticed that the montells in that part of the country are less "bucktoothed" than the one you might find around leakey.....

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

Thanks for posting the cleaned up points. All very nice. Pretty good haul. Makes me want to go.

Re: CANTWELL DIG - 3

Here is a pic from my day digging with Hal at Cantwell's. Took me a little longer than expected to get it posted.
