My rat killin for today. Flint run.
« on: May 03, 2009, 06:52:06 pm »
Did a job out west of Georgetown, TX.  Hit up an old feller across the road about picking up some flint. He sure didn't mind me hauling off all the rock I wanted. Anyway, this is Georgetown stuff and I think I have enough now ;D. Oh, the pictures don't look like much but any one of those rocks out there is as likely to be flint as not. All the big pieces I prybar'd out of the ground.

Wow ! Great haul. Boy, That is a great resource. I can see how some folks would'nt mind you relieving the pasture of some of it's rocks.When I was working at a dairy in Idaho,One of my jobs was taking rocks out of the pastures and putting them onto a wall.No flint though,just leaverites. Paid good.
Cowboy,I still have not hafted my big red blade yet,but I will.I take it out about 1 or 2 times a month and just carress it a little,my wife thinks I'm a little touched,but Oh Well. I will get around to it along about next winter probably. Wolfwatcher sent me a set of points of the same material,so I'm thinking about some kinda display set maybe.Thanks for sharing.

Nice haul.  His yard would have probably looked like a groundhog colony hit by the time I got through.  I would have had to haul in dirt, reseed and fertilze.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That pile aught to last me awhile. Your welcome guys, and I guess I'll take that as a compliment Jamie :D :D.

Is that Georgetown the REAL hard stuff, or just the hard stuff?   :'(

So far, I haven't found any Osage or knappable rock over here.  Embrace the suck
