Hi, my name is sam and i live in sonora,tx. I work on a big ranch just east of sonora off I-10 about 12 miles between junction and sonora. I found this mound with lots of grey fire rock. And since then have started on the north west side on the edge and started digging. Only signs i have found are pieces of flint. And im really just wondering if i may have any luck. It looks to be maybe 30 yards from a solid rock bed looks like an old river bed. If anyone has an idea let me know maybe shoot me an email. Thanks

Fire rock and flint usually a good sign. Dig a test hole and let us know what you found. Maybe post some pics of the site.

Keep digging.. Need pics.

Fire rock & flint flakes is a solid camp indicator, finding good artifacts is only a question of moving dirt.
2 thoughts....Be VERY SURE to go deep enough, well below the obvious black soil.. #2,,,make a 2X4 frame with 1/2 inch wire mesh screen...Could be a bird point camp with very small points that are hard to see unless screened.

Are you finding flint? Or flint chips that would show signs of flint being worked into actual tools/points? 30 yards from an old river bed may be to close for a midden unless its on higher ground.

Where are the pics?
