Jeff said..." Get some pictures up as soon as you can so interested diggers can see whats going on. "

It's facinating seeing all those 'head' lights moving around while they are digging.

Actual close ups of life in the trenches .

I unearthed a real show stopper and a fitting memento of my first night dig at the " nite site "
Still insitu ( right in the middle )

Photobucket

By midnight there was less lights as some fire flies headed for the electric blanket..

Photobucket

The car parking was worth a pic, looked like Digfest ( just without the rain )

Photobucket

Special bonus....Georgetown still their knockout Christmas lights up..

Re: Has anyone gone to the free night dig in williamson co?

Photobucket

Pat found a rare half a Perd early on..

Jeff #2's CT base...( wish I had found it, it would be a G11 this morning ).

Re: Has anyone gone to the free night dig in williamson co?

Now that is a cool point. Do you call it a batwing perd? I guess digging at night is better..

Right or wrong the common usage for this point is a "COMMANCHE" Perd..
Pat made an interesting observation about it, IF the base was not notched it would be a true LANGTRY...
( "COMMANCHE LANGTRY " ?? )

The type is not set in stone, there are wide variations of Commache's that DONT look Langtry.. Look back up in the post at the Perd in Pat's hand...that looks Commanche like just because the base is long and narrow.
Really exotic Commanche varients the 'wings' are swept out really radically...( to keep the dart from penetrating into the prey's hide and hurting him )

" night digging is better "....than what ???
You must mean no digging at all, certainly not better than daylight. The site is to become the new home of a square mile of billion dollar condominiums. It's
night or nuthin...

CORRECTION...

I just spoke to someone that knows more about these things ( Badger )....There IS a documented BATWING PERD...Commanche has always just been a cute handle the boys in the trenches used...

Now I gotta use both terms so all will understand

Re: Has anyone gone to the free night dig in williamson co?

Had you found it during the day it would certainly be a Commanche. However, it was found at night, thus a batwing. There is a distinction as noted in OVST page 1894.

Re: Has anyone gone to the free night dig in williamson co?

E of 35....Pretty much Dead center in the middle of Georgetown...The digging stopped when they were just getting ready to pour the slabs over it for the new 1000 unit apartment complex. !
