Short Dig- East Texas

[BCSMark]

My dad and I were doing some work out at our property in east Texas. Ended up having about an hour to do some digging/sifting.
He found this nice translucent broke point, made from agatized petrified wood. It even has a small pocket of crystals in it. Likely the cause of why it broke.
I found this other worked piece that seems to have been utilized based off the heavy damage/wear on one edge. Also petrified wood.

Brokes and preforms the story of the whole 2025 for me. I did find some keeps

Yeah I’ve been frustrated with this camp! I’ve not pulled a single complete point, but have a shelf full of brokes and preforms. Moved a lot of dirt for them too. I have plans in the near future to build a large shaker table and get in there with the tractor. We’ll see.

I got bored last trip and walked up a feeder and found one in the water but of course it was broken 😠. Going to walk it further next trip. Might be a killer waiting on me. Good luck

On our property out there, there is the main creek and another feeder creek, and both of those I’ve never walked. I’m hopeful there could be another camp somewhere along the other feeder, like the one I’m digging now. I plan to walk those creeks at some point. I’ve just never found anything in a creek.

If there is gravel it’s a good sign. If it’s full of mud and sand probably won’t find much. But there should be a campsite right around that intersection of the creeks. Maybe do a test hole. You might be in a trash pit right now if everything is broken. I’ve found some nice things in trash pits but almost everything was broken

My best find was this pendant I found last January. While looking in a creek always look for the hole in the stone and pick it up. Most times it’s natural but once in a while it might be something good
The design is a bear paw by NA standards

Oh wow, super cool

One thing I’ve yet to find that I’d really like to, is pottery. I’m in the right area for it, within the caddo culture.

I never fared well on my property 10 miles east of Livingston, Tx. Lots of cobbles though.
Glad you found something.
