Badger acts as scale of digging progress, shallow area in foreground is clean across ranch road.



No insitu, no ceremony, Larry brought this very early morning find over for a pixel record.



This raked out Montell is actually fully complete, It's probably the most resharpened down Montell that I have ever seen



John's turn next. a very nice insitu



Very nice Castroville base..But is there more in the dirt ??



Y E SS



If the finding is slow. gotta make the most of neat "
insitus"



Size 9 1/2 for scale



Montell



Sean goes D E E P under the rubble for this one



Working class ( Yankee) Castroville



Digging in STYLE..Here's John with a dirty shirt...and a SOLID GOLD CHAIN



Castro, barb reworked in antiquity... OH MY GOLD CHAIN FOR A MONTELL



Here we go AGAIN...a diminishing wall created by opposing diggers working a low level snail / flint layer



Finally the inevitable via duct...John actually found his Montel in this little strip...next visit he will be looking for the TIP



Looking through the hole at John slaking off ( on the phone )



J & SH finds for the day



Leetle closer



WHOA....IT'S NOT OVER TIL IT'S OVER after final graduation pics I went over to kill some time
in the 8 inches deep parking lot....
.
.
.
BINGO
.
.


I asked John to stand in for me so I could take some pics ..



Still enjoying the insitu but well covered



A very nice Castro, needle tip



In the shallow area rubble, John & Sean spotted a medium sized surface find.



Not quite "insitu",,,,Sean takes a cel pic of a nice Tarantula

Hey Hal it was great to finally get to dig with you. Had a great time and look forward to doing it again soon! Good times!

Wow, dont see a question like that very often

If it was me I would want to get in on whats left of that Cwell mound...it's just unique with such a density of rock...In future years, drinking beer around a campfire you can say " Yeah I was there "

Note for near future Cwell diggers. It's already a well demonstrated fact that Snail, crinckle soil, bone and flint flake strata will definetly yield a point(s). Layer is very low and TWO layers are even better [ about 8 inches between them ]
Rock hash is non producing although unfortunately it has to be looked at before tossing for the possibility
of a surprise find.

Neat wild card is the 10 inches deep 'parking lot'.. 3 full points were found there Sunday, I got that Castroville Monday. Boundary limits unknown. The 'parking lot' perfectly fits the 'experts' statement that AROUND a midden is the best area.

All this is assuming you need Castroville, Williams and Montells in your collection
