What a find, hope its all there! More pics!!

So all of the hundreds of past BarksD screeners over the years must be saying " where are they digging to find all those top quality points ? "

Logical answer....the very lip of the river bank, one bucket wide..





Bandy



Frank's beautifully formed Kinney



Rob found a nice one....Cindy took off to show it around before I could get there !



The bigger the crowd, the more interesting the find . . .>



Will's Andice find was a shocker...we are so used to seeing Andice with barb damage or NO barbs...the fact that this one had tip damage ment little, even
dirty...it's a treasure.





Frank got a very nice find at morning break time



Whooooops... was not properly centered



Fuzzy wuzzy red Kinney



Front page Mickey was pleased with his first ever LaJita





TIME



Will & Ray's delicious looking tailgate



Rob & Cindy's fare. Point is a surface find from E Tx. great inclusions in a pretty flint.

Here's a memory in the making....
Frontpage said we should leave the last bucket untouched...have lunch and get back to it.... should be better JuJu

SHAZAM .....TWO SWATS OF THE HAND after lunch uncovered a very nice blade..







Frank was finding almost nothing but flint, I delivered this root to his table so he wouldn't feel left out



Root didn't help much, Frank still had a big Perd to go with his Orange.



Frontpage...AGAIN
A very unique reworked Castroville ( ? / ! ), note different angled notches





Start of the end















Here's one to watch for the out come. . . . . .
Two Gorgets, found by 2 people from the same bucket load..
They do fit together..broken in antiquity based on aging at the breakline..

It's a well known factoid that when 2 pieces of a point are mached up, he who has the base gets the point...

Whats the on Gorgets ?

That Andice is a freaking heartbreaker, and still a awesome find!!
Looks like Mickey is still rolling!

Looking at the camp going all the way to the edge of the river's bank sure make you think about what has gone down stream. My wife and I have been tubing and swimming (before the drought) in that river for many years and never found much. When a sure enough good rain hits that part of the country above Barksdale and Camp Wood, the river can get bank to bank in a hurry, maybe they don't stop tumblin till they get down close to Uvalde! lol

PRECISELY MY THOUGHTS ON THE MATTER

Today's edge of river bed is nothing like where it was as little as 500 yrs ago, so where is the last 9,000 yrs ? ....I always say " the Gulf of Mexico " ( just a little past Uvalde )
The "tumble" factor is obvious from looking at the nature of all the rest of the rock in the present river bed...What may have been a great corner tang
might well be a long thin lump of flint by the time it nears Uvalde...round pea sized by the seaside on the gulf
