I watched the sun rise while driving out to my favorite site . The day warmed up fast with a high of 98 I set up my beach umbrella to shade my dig I lasted about 7 hours but found a few . My favorite find of the day was a little obsidian micro drill . IMG_6481.webpP7080947.webpP7080948.webpP7080950.webp

It's amazing what you have found at that one site. Very impressive as always.
 

yes…nice hunt and that drill is amazing!
 

Nice stuff. I have to ask is the soil easy to dig? I know our soil here is like a big red clay rock.

Its decomposed granite and easy to dig but some areas are mixed with red clay and baked like in the hearth areas and are tough . You have to scrape the soil .

Thanks for the response. Here the top soil isn't deep maybe 12 inches till the hardpan. But getting the top soil off is like scraping cement due to the red clay. No wonder they made so much pottery here.
