Looking for Indian Artifacts

Linda and I went out this week to a dig north of Uvale, Texas.  A dig is a place where you are allowed to dig and keep artifacts that you might be lucky enough to find.  I liked this site because they did the digging for you.  They had a Bobcat that loaded up the dirt and placed it on sifting table.  All we had to do was sift through the dirt until we found something.

This is a sifting table. It was a nice place with lots of shade trees.

  We had a nice time and Linda found some nice pieces.  I had a nice time and found a bunch of broken pieces.

B-24

Stinson field had a B-24 flowed in for the weekend and the public was allowed to take a self guided tour of the aircrafts.  I was amazed at how cramped it was inside the aircraft.  I don’t know how they moved around wearing parachutes and Mae West.

There was a veteran there in his WWII uniform.  He had flown in the B-24 during the later days of the war in Italy.  He had quite a few stories to tell.  There were quite a few of other veterans there taking the tour.  Many of them there with their Grandsons.

 

B-17

There was  a mini air show at a local airport near the house last weekend.  Stinson field is supposed to be the 2nd oldest airfield in the United States.  They flew in this B-17 for the weekend.
