As January 2012 goes into the history books,,,here's a recap of the last 3 weeks at Starr..



Best of the month..

In the lucky winners circle, a Plainview and a PV preform ( unfinished Plainview )



And Badger's Kinney gets the red carpet treatment..

I love lookin' at all this beautiful stuff as much as a fat kid loves cake!!!
Looking forward to this week-end!!

that plainview looks sweet!

some find pics

Working around the big tree ( when there still was some dirt there )



Cleaning old dirt around the edge, out raked a big GORGET



Good scare. It's a geofact. One hole looks like it could have been slightly man reamed out but there is no other evidence of modification..
I may just put it on EBay for $1,600.



Good memory





Raked out but the metal never touched it



Very nicely made Covington style.



Just as it came to rest...Suweeet







. . . . . . . . . C L A N G..

What a good day, I think I would use the shoe for scale for awhile and see if the luck continues!

The drill is the best, wish I had that one and you had one bigger and sweeter!!

Clover and horse shoe! Keep the luck o' coming!!!

The 740 clocks in





Badgers' Darl



and a Scallorn



Find of the month, a Plainview and probable Plainview were about 5 feet apart.



Dwain R in his office at the FredB show confirms Plainviews..

Fantastic finds!!! Must be soooo exciting!!!

awesome show! love that plainview and darl too. sweet drill. looks like even the old plainview indians shoed their horses with metal horseshoes.

Last looks

Good MMMMMorning



It was a good morning





Unwashed lower right the 30th..top R unwashed 31st.
clean ( whiteish ) prior to 30th. ( notice two foot scale ! )

That is awesome! Can't wait to get there!!!!!

Please save me a few hal

Whole new site of possibilities.
All the trees have been cleared from the spring midden and the top dirt removed.



It's a deep subject to see what the site looked like thousands of yrs ago.

gotta get out there

You gotta be in to win .....put some new batteries in your head lamp and get out there

Jay & G-X check the area morning after a 4 inch rain..
Note survey tape marker...To try to keep some sanity to the newly cleared area, Craig asks diggers to start below the line, throw dirt behind til reaching the parking lot.



J ( on L ) & Gee X's finds.
That MARTINDALE looks perfect and is completely expected from the new lower exposed area...



Jay's finds from other areas, that snapped base on the R is 3 1/2 inches..
