To be really correct, you have to use Dover or Bangor.  The stuff is about the same quality as Tallahatta quartizite.  It is also in boulders, so they had to reduce it to a biface at the quarry site.  The biface probably weighted, depending on what they were making, 20+ pounds.  They then hauled them home and finished them.  And they probably used wood batons.  Those were some master knappers.  Bill

Jesse-  That is a really nice piece.   The evenness of the hook part is particularly impressive.

I just had to Bump this back up here next to the new piece of this new 'cache'.
Mr. leapingbare, I hope you are holding on to these pieces for awhile. They could be
as famous as the old Duck River cache one day. :)
Totally Awesome Work!

Wish i could Joe,
 My flint knapping is a huge part of my income and a huge help financially.
The claw was sold weeks ago and the sword was sold the other day.
Heck I'll make more, and yes one day i would like to replacate the cache and have my own personal collection of it.

Just gotta say again Jesse that this is a true display of how talented a flintknapper you are.  Nice work man!
