Whole drills are rare Hal. Not everyone has found a good one. I hunt a lot and it took 3 years to find my first good one. I have never found a piece of a confirmed C-tang. I would rather find a effigy pipe or nice game piece. Some drawings or art form like the Mayans made. I would like that more than a C-tang. My buddie has a deer antler knife with 1/4 of the antler still intact. Nicer than any C-tang I've ever seen and I have been to all the local shows. Peoples holy grail in artifacts differ. Hal you should have a pile of C-tangs after all your diggin.
At this point i think you and hal have found everything in texas lol i cant seem to get out of skunksville tuesday will be the streak breaker i hope great show kris
It's always embaressing to me when this CT subject comes up.. I have shifted my interests & priorities, I no longer for a CT. My is
now any Paleo or as close to it as I can get.
Attached a pic of the custom hanging "drill / perforator " frame that's been up about 4 yrs. Probably
half are complete but I repair a lot of my finds so it's not a true indicator of original use damage. I have a ziplock bag of unmounted drills now ( probably will never get mounted....I dont have enough walls )
Did you notice that that wiggle pickless Snoop is going to try again
I wonder if the biggest firecrackers could be used to excavate an indian camp ?? ( like fishing with hand grenades
yeah i believe in pick mojo now. ive been diggin almost 3 years now found some good ones but not what i would consider centerpieces. so i used my bros ww2 pick for the first time, the same one he has dug up many treasures with, and would you believe i found my centerpiece. cant wait to show you this one next time i see you snoop
That's one mean collection of drills there Hal. I've found about 4 good ones and a dozen broken ones so far. About half and half on them being made on worn out points.
That’s an awesome frame Hal. Looks like you were digging in the machine shop of the day. Lots of tools and bits. Imagine all the stuff that those tools and bits punctured or poked holes in.
Thanks for the look see. Good luck with the Paleo.
Any luck with the ball pick Snoop ?
Anyone have time tomorrow im dying to sling some dirt and givien work and the new baby its a lot better meeting up w someone than convincing my self to sleep
