Gosh what a day. I dug the trinity camp again today. Just before I quit Tuesday I dug a 5 piece cache of 4 performs and a really nice oval based blade. I was thinking about them when I started today and I knew exactly where try came out of my trench so I started in the wall right there. First bucked right off the clay had a big point sticking up. I never put it on the screen just motioned for my nephew to come over. I pointed at it and he pulled it out... KILLER Angostura!

I knew I had found more of the cache. I quickly screened the over burden and started cleaning the sticky clay. Ango after Ango rolling out. First stage perfection.

I ended up with 19 total angos with 6 being first stage!!!. The rest of Tuesday was amazing as well. San Patrice, Scott's bluff, wells, Early Triange, etc. I even found a bone handle that was split and clearly had a blade hafted in it.

It was an epic day shared with a great friend Southern Camo , my nephew, and my Father. I'm blessed.

Amazing finds! The blades look like they maybe Blanks or preforms. The round bases look similar to the Covington blade that Mr. Hester classified as preforms. Had to be one exciting day pulling them out.

They are zella angostura in first stage. There were several actual blanks there too though.
 

I'll bet you spend a lot of money on frames. You've got to buy a new frame every time you go out. HaHa! Nice collection you have. Gary
 

My gosh!!!! Any chance you might have the bone handle carbon dated?
 

Those are amazing! Some even have thinning flutes. Why do you think there are so many 1st. stage blades that seem to have been abandoned and never used?
 

Heavens to Betsy! That's why I come to this site every day, in hopes of seeing a find just like that.
 

Dang. You'd have been able to roll me over with a stick if I'd found two of such and fainted...

Congrats!
 

leave some for the rest of us!
 

Oh my :notworthy:. . . ANY one of those points in your hand would put a smile on my face for at least, a year.
To recover as many as you did at one time is just incredible.
 

I'm on a roll. Dug three more pieces of the ango cache this morning.

This evening I dug an 8 piece Gary knife cache!!!
