Shaman, if you can't find flints pm me. I knap flints when i am not napping. mine are georgetown chert. spark my flinters well.
I may be taking you up on that. Many thanks.
One thing that bugs me is that the flint knapper I knew said there was good chert near my farm that was exposed in a road cut next to the highway. He said the stuff needed heat treatment before it would be hard enough. Sadly, I don't know enough to pick the stuff out from the rest of the roadside detritus. He said the locals used it for arrow points back in the day.
