Paleo Day Today CACHE

[Garscale]

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.

I got the entire cache in a frame 24 pieces. Ill take pics tomorrow if I get time. I also got the Gary cache in a frame. Gonna start a new thread with better pics this time.

A friend of mine's mom found a stash of preforms in Idaho like that. Not as big but maybe 20 of them. All obsidian...so cool.

Were there any finished pieces to id the culture? One of the great things about this cache is that it had angostura in virtually every stage from preform to exhausted.

He has some finished stuff also. I've got a drill and some points/knives too. All Snake River region stuff - Shoshone / Bannock I believe.

Hey and Evel Knievels rocket ramp is still out here too.

Yes I will. Probably be tomorrow. There are at least 3 finished ones in the pics posted though. Two zellas and one straight ango

Outstanding. You are in artifact heaven with your operation. Are you selling them building a museum or what? Lol

While I'm not opposed to selling in any way... I rarely sell. I have a large collection. Most are in either site frames or type study frames. I often frame well used and exhausted points in type frames because they tell the story of usage.

I also share my collection with academia. My frames have been used in at least 7 academic publications. I'm all about learning as much as possible.
