ON March 2010 - NACHO OPENED HIS NEW
SCREEN DIG AT CHALK BLUFFS


JULY  2010 - CHALK BLUFFS
QuoteReply CHALK BLUFF AT NACHOS, 7 - 23. 24. 25

This was the opening of the new Nacho site at the south end of the Chalk Bluffs range. Easy early morning meeting place is where CR 405 comes into rt 55.

In and out of the site is across a low water bridge which the locals find excellent for washing their flint.

Fairly early in the morn Cy found a BEAUTIFULLY made duckbill Kerrville knife....This area had been known for K knives..
UNBELIEVABLE  After showing us that duckbill, . . . . Cy went back to work and SIX MINUTES LATER from the same load he found ANOTHER one..
( note Ace walking away shaking his head )

3-20-10 - IDAHO'S ADVENTURES AT NACHO'S
THIS IS THE STORY FROM IDAHO'S TRIP - IT WAS POSTED IN THE MESSAGE BOARD
AND WANTED TO ADD IT TO THIS UPDATE AS WELL!
THIS IS HIS STORY!
The screens were full and the points were rolling out. I saw some really nice stuff. The weather was perfect although at 4:50 A/M on Saturday morning it rained like crazy and my tent was under water. It cleared just in time for a great day on the screens. I was to busy screening to get more pictures but I will say that there were many great artifacts found.
My hands feel like they were tumbled in a bag of marbles. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

We call this pic Nachos Golden Arches..

A lot of artifacts came from the base of this old tree.

Digger Jeff's point chair. He dug a great bunch of Martindales, Castros, Langtry, Marcos, Perds and tang scrapers.

I was screening along and out pops this choice Kinny Knife. A real nice one that measures 5.25 inches.

By the time lunch rolled around I had some great artifacts. A sweet Bucktooth Montel, Split tail Ensor that was a G-10 all the way.
A nice kinny and a small whole Martindale, heartbroke thin Perd. Not pictured are the brokes and blade chunks that were found.

My haul ! ( Idaho's)

One of the screeners next to us pulled out this paint bowl. You dont see these everyday. Very cool stuff.

Here are some pics from JIM C ! Great big blade and Paint Bowl! Congratulations Jim!

Cade and Rosco at the end off the day.

3-19-10 - KAMERON - TAYLOR AND SCOTT'S ADVENTURES




Michelle, The boy's (Kameron and Taylor) and I went to Nachos over spring break. They are 12 yrs old (twins) and made the whole 8 hours...adrenaline I guess. We had a great time at the new site and it looks very promising! The boy's wooped my butt! All I found was the ENSOR and most of the broke pieces. They found the Castroville G10, Base Tang, Kinney blade, and Kerrville Knife. They had the time of their life! -  SCOTT

2-9-09 - "THE REPORT"

Nacho's on the Nueces River  !! Whatta day we had!

This was really my 1st time actually screening for the day - There wasn't a mussel in my arms that I didn't feel tense up today! WOW whatta work out! But MAN was it worth it!! No pain no gain right??
Come along and check out our GAINS of the day , here on the beautiful
Nueces River at Nacho's Dig !!


I am SURE that the river that was running behind us was nice, but the flint kept my attention all day ! I didn't even walk down there to take a cold dip !
We worked the tables and IKE kept the dirt coming! Whatta trouper that IKE !
A bad cold didn't stop him all day! He loaded and cleaned and loaded some more!
Even nice enough to clean under my feet over and over so I had a platform
to stand on to sift ! He took pity in me being so short I guess! THANKS IKE !!!

Even nature watching while at the Tables when this little fella got caught in the scoop!

Had to bring something for good luck ya know us !
This little fella , The "Nueces Gecko" watched over us all day from his little place in the tree's.

This was the FIRST Kerville Knife that I have EVER FOUND!!!  Whatta beauty too!
Thin and make GORGEOUS and even PINK in color!  Them flint gods! I would have been happy with just this find for the day .. But hay, it was only about 10 am ! Can't let a little thing like a big old knife stop the digging process right ! Wow, I will treasure this baby!

Hal , I am sure worked and SLAVED making this big old PERD to hide in my pile of dirt!
So what do I do ? I JAB right into it with my shovel like 4 times before I find it!
I got a kick out of it - I am sure that Hal was crying inside when I stabbed it though!


BUDDY was a great treat to chat with today as well!!! Nice to meet you and chatter! This guy is a wealth os information about the area and the site! If you ever are there and get  the chance and Buddy is there.. CHAT HIM UP ! Whatta wealth of information !

Hal said it was on HIS side of the table - But hay ... When do I ever listed to Hal anyway! heh

Gotta have Nacho's while at Nacho's dig right !!!!! Hal even made some flint dip !
We all stood around and chattered for lunch and had some food -
My Hands and Arms needed time to relax for a while !


PLEASE take your trash and cig butts with you !! keep the place clean for everyone! Thanks!!


Look ! I really stabbed it ! SORRY HAL!

Back to work ! - Hal was knocking out some very nice PERDS !!

My eyeglass container RUNNITH over today - My goodies in the case
and the broken I crammed in a cigar case that I brought along!


Not only did I find my FIRST EVER Kerville knife today ! I also found my SECOND!
This little beauty is so small and delicate and awesome !!!!

Hal , ofcourse, made up some special chip bags that is we found
any special points we could match them up to the bag!
Got the perd all right !!! Maybe next time we will match up the others!

The Largest perd that I have ever found is 4 1/16 !! AND I FOUND IT TODAY AT NACHO'S!!!

It was a great day and fun was had by all ! I am glad that I finally had the opportunity to sifter dig and by the looks of all the items that we found today, I am glad that my first sifter experence was here at Nacho's Dig -  IKE made it a very relaxing and fun day , He really worked his butt off for us all
BUDDY it was also very nice to meet you and glad that you were there as well!

Thanks for checking the update !!!!!!!

End Update - 2-8-09 -  Thanks for looking and be sure to check here for more updates as
I get in new pictures from the NEW DIG AREA!



"On the Nueces with Nacho"

Welcome to a update form "Nacho Pay Dig" old camp in Camp Wood
Nacho has a sifter dig, at Camp Wood, on the Nueces River. It looks that looks like I have to get out of
Cedar Park more often! Nacho has a great setup, all you need is water and gloves. Come enjoy nature and
bring a good pair of leather gloves and lets go through some dirt together!


Here is Hal's home made, I need to move dirt to find points, GLOVE TOOL
Ok, for those of you who think they see a 1/2 a egg pan glued to a good leather glove with
liquid nail.. Well.. You are CORRECT! The Hal Man made this special glove because , come on,
scooping dirt for 8 hours would take the tips right off my fingers! Way to go Mr. Special Tool!!!


Ok, Ready, Set, SIFT!  Here is how it works for those who have never been to one of these type of
digs before.. Wait a minute!! I have never been to one either! Ahh! But, anyway... !!
You stand at a large table with a graded top that the small soil falls thought and the Bobcat man Nacho
brings the table loads of dirt to sift through. Then you pick through the pile and put the
arrowheads and base tangs and kerville knives and things like that right in to your pocket!


So get your friends together and give Nacho a call and make a day out at beautiful Camp Wood on the Nueces
river and lets get them hands a little dirty! Nature - Arrowheads - Its what the Dr. Ordered!
