 And it has turned into an Archeological Dig  :o :o Finding all sorts of Ancient Pottery shards, about 3 meters down, or so, from the surface. Sure has slowed the hole down.  ::) ::) ;D ;D

Harold,

   Be on the lookout for a pot of gold. I'm pretty sure I left one around there somewhere. ;D

The Indigenous covered the dead bodies of higher up, elders, with gold juacas and such. Don't know if there was enough gold in this particular region, to do that or not.

  So far, no dead bodies  ::) ::) ;D ;D

If ya find bodies, I hope for your sake they are dead. I hear the un-dead ones can be a world of trouble.

fishpharmer, if you are thinking like I am thinking he would need a large hole for that. smiley_airfreshener

At least you find something worth talking about when you dig a hole.All I ever found here is rocks with a little bit of dirt around them.

Sounds pretty cool Harold. We found a piece once, very interesting.

Yes, there was a lot of gold around here. In fact, the Rio Venado has some. (which doesn't go through Vendado the time, if you are curious)

So, how did I end up here anyway?

  I've tried to follow this, Fred, but, guess I just don't catch on too quickly, anymore. 'splain it to me ???

  There is so far, 2 distinct layers of compacted earth, where the pieces are being found. They both are distinguishable by the fact that GRITTY type sand is sparsely scattered on top of the layers.

  This sand, is, very large to be called sand. I have been told, it is from the Volcano eruptions, at different times in history. There is absolutely no clay type dirt mixed in this sand. It will not hold water, and it runs according to the contour of the land, so, drains downhill.

  I may have to deepen the hole another 10 inches, and, the nicer pieces were found just about at that level, when we were just digging, not trying to be fancy.

  Might try to get a photo of the sand layers in the hole, later today.

Venado just mean deer, so there is a town called Venado, and a river called Venado. The river doesn't pass through the town, in fact, it passes near us. Good fishing in the river by the way and some very impressive waterfalls.

So, how did I end up here anyway?

Fla._Deadheader


  OK, Fred. Knew all that. Just couldn't see it with what you wrote. Venado is just below us, on the west side of the hill, about 2K's or so.

Posted over 150 photos on this Forum, now, the new deal won't let me download photos of 350 pixels at largest size measurement. Others downloaded at 400, and, some were rejected at 300 ??????

  Oh well, here is what WAS allowed.

  GREAT, now this ???

  Can't access my Gallery without downloading Java , which WON'T dfownload on my computer, so, no photos  ::) ::) ::) ::) >:(

Use the same method you always used. optimize your photos and use the regular uploader on the menu on the side of the gallery. Your photos can be 500 wide. If they are rejecting at less its because of the k size not the pixel size.

Poor guy is computer challenged. Don't know why he can't download photos as always unless the computer is suffering from something. I know the link to go to the gallery is not under the post. Probably enough to throw someone off a little until they learn that under the web page menu there is "Forum Extras" with a link to the gallery or click on the link under your username. The code that shows up by left clicking on the thumbnail still has to be transferred (highlighted with the mouse cursor , cut and pasted with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V) to the post window.

 Ok, Jeff had me all messed up, changing stuff around, again.  ::) ::)  Gotta blame sumbudy, right  ::) :D :D :D :D :D

  The shards are coming from 2 separate depths, one at about 25", and the other at about 35". Figure that it takes maybe 80 years to produce 1" of topsoil, that would make these pieces 2000 and 2800 years old. Rule of thumb is 1" of topsoil per 100 years, but, down here, stuff never stops growing or decomposing, so I figured 80 years per inch ???

  The larger pieces are at the deeper level, naturally ::) ???  There are 3 or 4 different pots represented in the shard photos. Look close and you can see different types of markings on the pieces.









  There are more pieces I didn't bother showing. They come from the upper 25" range, and are all much smaller in size. There are maybe 5 or more different pots  according to viewing the pieces, and, they are just plain Jane looking.

  There is layers of a gritty sand, that separate the layers of topsoil, and, I have been told, the grit layers are from the Volcano activity ???  Think grit found on the ground, at the cement block yard. Looks exactly like that, ranging from a little bigger to a little smaller grit, than copper jacketed BB's.



  There is NO clay-dirt mixed in with the grit. It will NOT hold water, so, the ground drains quickly through these layers, which follow the slope of the land.

Not sure what nation of Indigenous this stuff would be from. There was trading all over Central America, so, could be from any nation.  ??? ???

  Not enough pieces to glue together, yet ???
