The musket flint sure looks like Chalcedony from France! Also known as French Ambers. French had the flint market cornered til the Napoleonic wars. Then the English Brandon flints gained in popularity. That's not saying the English flint weren't used before then, because they were. It's just the French were actually more popular! Awesome finds !!! Thanks for sharing!!

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
