New Rock, cooked pics added!
« on: December 06, 2010, 11:14:24 am »
I went deer hunting on FT campbell yesterday in a area iv have not been in before. I was walking down a dry creek bed and it was loaded with flint. I have messed with the rock on ft campbell before and never found anything good. but i seen a cool looking piece and i grabbed it and it was heavy, very heavy. I grabbed 3 more pieces and put them in my pack. I did not test them in the field because i did not want to spook the deer by smacking rocks together.
 I got home and the stuff works good and has some cool bulls eyes in it.
I made this cumberland out of a piece, The cumberland is 5 inches on the dot and fully fluted on both sides.
 I cracked into another piece and it liked like a jaw breaker inside but one of the layers were separated and it fell apart before i could get it finished. I Cooked the flakes last night they will be cool enough to see if they tuck the heat or not by the time i get home. Here are some photos, the rock the cumberlands on is the stuff.

Killer job on the Cumberland!
And nice find on the rock. It is a little strange to me that there is more
than one sphere, or birdseye, per nodule.
Thanks for the pics,
Joe

Well i cooked some flakes of this new rock.
the 1st pick is raw. The bi-face did not make it, one of the layers was separated in the core.
I cooked the flakes up and it slicked up. Made this little pine tree outa the largest flake.
I was real aggressive cooking this rock. Put it on 240* for 4 hrs thin i ramped it strait to 500* and held it for 8hrs.
That fact that it tuck the heat tells me its part of the ft pain formaction and not part of the hornstone formaction.
