One heck of a find you have going GarGuy! Keep at it

I know you've done the math on here, but I still can't wrap my head around how there are so many points in one location. I've never found and arrowhead and wouldn't even know how to get started. It just amazes me how you located such an area and had so much belief in it that you bought it just to dig. I love this thread. When I think of buying property, it's to retire on!! Keep it up, I'm lovin it!

People ask this question over and over so i will try to do a better job of answering...

Lets say you locate a fair site. There are thousands of them around East Tx as well as all over the state. You go out with a shovel and hand sifter and sift a 3ft by 3ft area 3ft deep. Thats a cubic yard. You go around the site and do these sample digs to determine the paremeters if you cant obviously see them from the terrain.

Just for kicks lets say its a fair site and you find an average of 2 good points per cubic yard. Now we determine how deep it goes and this will vary widely so say it averages 3ft to make it easy. The site is small and is 100yds by 100 yards.

Thats 10,000 cubic yards and 20,000 decent points that you could REASONABLY expect to find. That is how i justify buying a site to dig. Hope this helps.

LOL! No.... but word is spreading. i had five people stop in and drive right past my posted signs yesterday to visit. We didnt show them a dang thing. i was friendly to all of them but shut down while they were there. Otherwise i would have had a gallery of folks watching.

Yep! Some interesting old stuff found in the same level that I found the Plainview and andice blank. A killer Gary from this morning(striped pet wood), A super nice Langtry this eve, A beautiful agate point that was almost clear and red stripes.

Had fun . Found quite a few nice points.

awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing. This was my dad's passion in life and my brother and I spent our childhood traveling around to digs and shows with him. Good memories.
