I'm sure going to sleep like a rock tonight, or this morning rather. Joe and I just got home from a day of digging with Rick (Digswithstick). What a nice guy! We drove almost three hours there and a little longer on the way back, due to our sleepy heads.
We started out the day with a nice walk in the field searching for arrowheads. Rick found two that he kindly let me fish out of the dirt and keep. What a gentleman. He knew how excited I was to find one! I found some chert pieces (I think that's what it's called) and I could have stayed there all day.
Next, we headed to two of Rick's dumps. They were really cool. I'll elaborate more tomorrow with pictures and a video.
Rick's collection is quite impressive. He's pretty humble about it, but he has some real winners in there. He's got a lot of dentures in there too, which, I was very interested in for some reason. I wanted to try a pair on, but that would have been too out there for me. Gross! It was a fun day, and it was good to hang out with our friend and fellow forum member Rick, Thanks for your hisoitakito. I am going to leave that to demonstrate how tired I am!!! Joe said "WTF is that martian for hospitality?" Well, I'm typing in the dark too.
More to come tomorrow.

Here's a nice pic Laur took when we were walking the fields for points.

Here's the first dump,..Down over a hill and loaded with rocks, It was a cool place, a foundation above. You could see where they slung the bottles and trash down the steep incline onto this rock. Lot's of unfortunate casualtys here. Alot of broken crude meds and hutches.

oops, got a bit out of order there,...Here's one of the points Rick and Laur found.
P.S. Rick is a long time and accomplished point hunter,....He can pick them out even when the smallest part is showing. I saw him do it four times, often in an area someone else had walked over.[;)]

Laur has some brief vids we'll try to post later on the faster laptop...They show the foundation dump much better than these pics. I should clarify,...The second and by now infamous foundation dump that kept Ricks bottle fix fed for 3 years.[:D]

Thank you to Rick for sharing your bottle and point hunting places, It was very fun to go to another neck of the woods and dig! Also thank you for the major hospitality,...We'll come down again some weekend now that we know the way. Joe & Lauren
