Re: ATTENTION SERIOUS HAND DIGGERS

Kris
Thanks for info Hal. I wish there was a better way than screening to find the masses. I have parti****ted in screening in the past and the fine delicate stuff that I love to find seems to always be the first casualities of the bucket or the screen. I have damaged my share with a pick and a shovel but It's not the same. When you remove all the overburden with a pick and shovel out the hole, Then you get to the goodies it's like you have arrived back in their camp and your the first visitor since they left. It's just as they left it. All of the surviving artifacts have been inplace for thousands of years. (Un-disturbed except for the elements)


Hand diggers did get a chance to get some exercise at Juno this past weekend.

This is Terry's work area. There is / was a significant snail layer right on top of the pale colored original soil....

And on top of the snails he found a number of nondescript broken pieces of points and 4 Montell bases.

All hand dig areas had that pale "gravely" basement..interesting.
