Well its a holiday and we have a ton of stuff going on. Lots of veterans in my family that have gone on before us. I did have to put a new belt on the sifter and really needed to finish my drainage cut so we decided to run up there and get that done. Had to find a belt asd the one I had was wrong and didnt get started till 10. I started digging my cut and figured i might as well see what was in it. I got way down toward the creek and hit a nice flat spot that looked unnatural. I noticed it the other day when I was clearing the woods off it.
I told dad I wanted to dig a couple of buckets and see if there was anything in it. I put a bucket in the sifter and went to get another. when i came back, dad had 2 arrowheads in his mouth and one in his hand! That spot was full of stuff! Long story but it turned out to be five feet deep and a big spot! Most of the stuff was sorry material but we found about 60 points in 2 hours.
I did find a damaged paleo point and a rough Scotts bluff. Kinda rare to see a Scotty made of poor petrified wood but the median ridge and heavy basal grinding confirm it. One edge is broken off. Also found a cool Catahoula arrow point. I cant wait to get back. Probably late monday.

Have you ever dug any Blackland Gumbo land? We have a place in Kaufman Co, thick black clay, it is overlooking a creek draining into the east fork of the Trinity. I may have to start some digging to see if there are any artifacts on our hill. I am guessing I will have to water screen though, because of the clay, any thoughts?
