The mighty Nueces river in the backround of an Early Triangle dug at The Rolands lot 16 ! ( can only be done with zero winds,,balancing that is, not digging )



This is now the flint washing area where the water runs through the under road culverts..No dive goggles needed.



I got a chance to try out a new digging tool...Got the idea from watching the WX reports from the North
this past winter..
I call it a " throw plow "

Just position it where you want to move some dirt.



chain it to somebody's vehicle



Put it in low DRIVE ,,and hit the gas



Oh Boy !



It's obviously a blade base with very fine workmanship, very thin..



I took special care to remove all the dirt OVER the point to allow a complete proper 'insitu'

What a waste of pixels



Finds of the day ( unwashed )



All worked artifacts....best of the lot, the triangle shown in the opening clip



Here they are washed...



Still under an inch of water ( thats why they look so B I G )



. . . . S U R P R I S E..



Even in a drought, the seepage under the low water bridge feeds the old flint wash hole

as always a good show!! Are some those other brokes results from your first balancing attempts!!

PHOTOSHOP, there is no way you could balance that point on your finger, PHOTOSHOP.

Hal is a master balancer. Hey I like that early triangle. Nice new tool. I've got a simiar idea with a tarp. The tarp catches the overburden and sift dirt and then I tie it to a chain and to the truck bumper.

I don't know how you camp out & dig in this heat. About the only thing The water sure looks good though!

Did you find any nice Manos? As always, an excellent presentation. I wonder if one could get an air-conditioned dig site? It looks very hot. I see Rolands still has some dirt to work through. Cheers.

Sandy, good thought on the brokes, but not me...might have been the little Indian kids playing with Dad's hunting supplies.

M.E.....Thats a Terrible thing to say about someone that can just barely send Emails..
Meet me here in the wee hrs of the morn for the 'how to' explanation

Trav, get it together...do it
There ARE fabrics that are made to handle heavy tough loads....
Like the EZ unload pickup beds that unloads a ton of material by winding it on a small dia spool....Fabric
slings handle TONS.

Consider flexible wire instead of chain...for working in an area not accessable to a pull vehicle...A COMEALONG ( 4000 lbs rated )

rg...What heat ?...it's only JUNE

Ida,,all the Manos you can handle ( Your gonna need a bigger vehicle. ! )

SH, are you sandbaggin?
