I'm sure the sand is eating it up. Is there any way to build a guard over I the bearing to protect it from the sand?

Well it ran for 15 years without the sand eating it.....Im puzzled. Exact same bearing replaced. I think it wasnt squared right. New guy working on it that i have a lot of confidence in. He is just farther away.Originally posted by Keith View Post

This thread is AMAZING! This is so awesome look at all these finds.
Funny...When I was out in West Texas. Iraan, to be exact a few years ago. I thought I was the man finding a half dozen arrow heads and a bunch of meteorites. I am no way near the man.
I am new here and just found this thread.
Thank you for sharing all of these posts.

Not really a bunch. But since I had none before. I guess I have a bunch now. About 10 of them now. My sons all took them to school, and I gave a couple to their science teacher for others to learn from.Originally posted by GarGuy View PostComment

Apparently there is a whole lot of meteorites in the West Texas desert. There were easy to find and very dense for their size. The arrow heads also were laying right on top of the ground. We got caught up chasing Javelina instead of artifact/meteorite hunting in Iraan. One day I'll go back there. We were on a 40,000acre hunting lease. The original spot that made me fall in love with Texas.Comment

Got my clients gone and had about 2.5 hours to dig. Got some sweet ones! Found these three PW blades that were likely cached together. The big one has killer flaking. I will get daylight pics tomorrow if i can.
Found a bunch of Manning including one sweet point.
Then BOOM! Up pops this smokin Angostura! Heavily ground and stunning material that is quite translucent.
Found some more nice points including an translucent agatized wood point.
Pics continued on next post.Attached FilesComment

That's a heck of a haul for such a short dig..and some beauties for sure! That ango kind looks like a wells (weak ears) that was reworked into an ango or an ango that was reworked into a wells.
Man that thing is sweet. Love that big ol pet wood point as well. As usual a sweet variety...very nice and thanks for the look!

That petrified wood point is nicely made, that stuff had to been hard to work. The ango is very nice piece also, love the translucent material! Whats the small polished rock?Comment

Its rose quartz. Probably highly polished and kept in someones medicine bag. I dont know what it was used for but it was obviously polished and cherished.Comment

I think its just a resharpened Ango. Wells generally have a round base. This one is well thinned, concave, and heavily ground on the surface as well as the edges. I didnt do a very good job of showing the base.Originally posted by Johnny View PostThat's a heck of a haul for such a short dig..and some beauties for sure!
