Going on a rock run. pics added
« on: October 01, 2009, 12:18:30 am »
  So two nights ago me and a buddy stopped by this little privet pizza joint and the guy making the pizza was showing another guy some artifacts he had found. I started talking to him about flint knapping and though the guy never tried to knapp, he was telling me about a bunch a flint he Sees at one of the places he hunts arrow heads.
  Well Abby and me went and picked up a pizza from there tonight and he said he would like to get me some of that rock, so i asked him were he was getting it and he gave me directions and drew a map.
 From the way he described the rock i think its Sonora Flint also known as Kentucky Blue. Going to go check it out tomorrow hope it pans out.

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

Not a bad run. I got about 150lbs. mostly arrow head sized stuff.
 I drove all over the area but only this one field had the rock.
 It is Kentucky Blue some of it looks sorta like horn stone though. Its real glosses and flacks very well.

That is some pretty looking stuff Jesse,  does it need heat or do you work it raw?

I'd say that's Ky Blue.  At first it looked like Sonora, but if it didn't come from Hart or Hardin Co. it's not Sonora.
 I don't think it's hornstone either. Ain't that stuff in nodular form?
 Either way, it looks like super slick stuff.  I hope you come up with a ton of it. ;)
