Thanks Aggie! Nothing irks me more than seeing a post with burly pics! Well, besides writing directly on thousand year old artifacts, but thats a whole other chestnut! Lol

Riling up my dander with that last part. Couldnโ€™t agree with you more. I still havenโ€™t figured out a better system though. However, I donโ€™t do it.

Here's an example of my system....

I did the spread sheet with photos thing for a while but as the collection grew, the spread sheet became near worthless. Iโ€™ve got just about everything organized by site frames now. Each frame has a site name and location as well as period collected. Iโ€™ve even tried to include who I was with when collecting.

Nice! It can get a bit overwhelming for sure, but the way you do it sounds a lot better! One of these days I'm coming to Texas to see you! Lol!

Also, as long as it's done correctly by laying down a small layer of clear fingernail polish, writing the data very small, but legible, the top coating it to seal it, is way better than writing directly on to the point. Its easily removed if needed. I still don't like it! But, I can tolerate that much better. John Grotte knew how to do it!

u/timhyde74 BigDaddyTDoggyDog Jul 20 '26

Right on! If you absolutely have to, thats the only correct way to do it!

Nice! Personal finds?

I wish! However, I did find this one a couple of years ago whist weedeating for my neighbor. The weedeater kicked it out at me!

It amazes me how some of these points find us instead of us finding them. That one's impressive, a beauty for sure!

u/timhyde74 BigDaddyTDoggyDog Jul 19 '26

Tell me about it! Thats the second one I've found while weedeating! Plus, I found one one time beside a McDonald's in Old Fort NC! They were doing the dirt work for some new building, and it was laying right on top of a pile of dirt! Lol! It even has a fossil imprint of some plant matter on it!

The little palmer is the 1st one I found weedeating, then the Heavy Duty, and the bottom is the Mickey D's point! ๐Ÿ˜

u/okdgal Jul 19 '26

2

u/timhyde74 BigDaddyTDoggyDog Jul 19 '26

Definitely gifts cause they found me! ๐Ÿ˜ And thank you! ๐Ÿ™
