Hal. You're hiding the most killer kerville. This place has some stuff to dig. Post it will ya!4fke

Congrat's to that young man, he has found one Killer blade! Needle tip and all!!

That must be a comfortable chair as it seems to be getting a lot of use over the last couple of digs! Smile!!

The entire flatbed family came out to play in the dirt on a beautiful Wx day.....



Savannah puts the eye on an Easter cupcake ( her find of the day )



Poppa Flatbed was collecting "preforms" thats Mason in the backround, note He uses a good wiggle pick.



Mason brought his wonderful blade find around for a show



Thin and razor blade edges on translucent flint







Flatbed just bought a new fire truck for family transportation...made a perfect backround for Mindy Flatbed's great Kerrville Knife find..



you may not recognise this digger...its' Idahoe . . . . . . .WORKING



And He found a Frio on the Frio !



Roger had to leave a bit early Saturday...( he still got an Easter cupcake )



Roger's finds from last week

Spent the night at camp Live Oak, almost in sight of the dig area. This is the porch / museum / tall tale gathering place.



Take note of the humming bird feeders at the far end...



there was at least 1 bird there at all times and frequently as many as 6



When we see 2 diggers walking towards us we know it's show time again !



Papa Flatbed's big Perd...He sometimes personalizes his finds with a little signature ding !



Ida makes friends with a local resident....



And for a while it looked like the local resident wanted to go home with Ida



Ida & SH finds





Seems my dig area was right where the horses are used to looking for late
afternoon



the end

That site is still producing after all these years. Good finds there.

And the winner is.............

Mama and Mason Flatbed !!!!

The blade ~3" is very good quality.

The small Kerrville fist ax is a work of art also. Looks brand new!!!

Yes Hal. Managing a dig is a tough job. Somebody has to do it. :)

Do you think the largest Perd with stacks on both sides was a cast-off, or?

Could that show the evolution of a ? tool. Do you think they would have

eventually been able to knock the stacks off and refine that piece?

Perds of that size and up can be correctly called "knives".
The maker may not have had a need to having it hunting shaft quality so the stacks would /could be left.
Of course it could also fall into the category of ANY worked flint that is not fantastic quality.....no telling what age & experience of the person might have that created the piece and what we see is the best he / she could achieve.

Hang in there...we know there is sure to be rain for the annual Digfest in October
