We rented a backhoe and I screened all day. Found this projectile point around lunch. Looks like a bevealed Darl. It came from the birdpoint layer. There was another Darl found later in the day. Those were the only complete finds on saturday. About 12 of us that day. Found on Fall Creek in Hood County, Texas.

Dug in the birdpoint layer for about 5 hours today. Followed the bone, black dirt, firerock and flint. I was sifting with my hands and thought I had pushed a point away. I decided to resift the pile. I'm glad I did. Found this little Bonham(1200-600 B.P.). Pretty nice little dart point. Found on Fall Creek in Hood County, TX.

Halloween Find - 2009

This knife is a serrated Snake Head Harahey. I followed charred dirt, bone, firerock, white ash and flint and dug this out. It was found next to a broken Perdiz point. I think the Perdiz was used to kill the animal (probably a buffalo) and the Harahey knife (700-400 B.P.) was used to skin or cut it up. Both were next to each other and about 3 feet from the surface. Found on Fall Creek in
Hood County, TX.
