    Dug up some more artifacts

    My wife, Colton and I decided to head to Leakey for a few days to do a little digging and a little bit of relaxing. The artifact hunting wasn't all that great because the ground is literally like concrete because of the severe drought out that way. I wasn't able to dig in the area I wanted to but I still scraped out a couple of decent points.

    I picked a spot back in some big oak trees right above the Frio where the ground was a little bit softer. Their wasn't much material in the ground but I didn't have too many options.

    After a bit, I saw this sticking out of the ground. I took this picture before I even knew if it was.

    I called Colton over and let him be the first one to lay a hand on it. The last human to touch this piece was over a thousand years ago more than likely.

    The two middle ones are the best points I found on this trip. They look to be Bulverde's.

    After a hard day of digging, I ventured down to the Frio and managed to find some nice crystal clear water to bathe off in. Life is good.

                      Really fine set of points, specially that multi- colored jewel. was this in a special private spot or on a pay dig like "Nacho's"? Keep em coming. It has really been too hot nad hard diggin for me lately, but I'll get back at it when it cools off a little.

                          That is awesome..........I am so jealous of you guys that find those arrow heads. I have never found a single one.

                          I would be interested to know what Indians culture was in the area where you are finding those points.

                            Johnny keep up the posting of these artifacts. I never get tired of seeing them. Glad you had a good trip. I haven't made it back up to the property since the suggestion you gave me , but I will let you know how it turns out when I can make it.

                              Nice as always Johnny, thanks for sharing. If you had to guess where do you suppose the source was for that fine looking flint? It looks like y'all are finding a lot of big stuff. Indicative of older camps maybe? Any true arrow points or all of those pretty much spears or atl atls? Do you notice any camp related stuff like metates, manos etc? Hide scrapers?
