Small haul.
« on: August 11, 2011, 04:59:43 pm »
I was checking the plant out today & stumbled across a berm with some flint in it. Seem like some hi-grade material. I think it's gonna knapp well without heat. Next chance I get I'm need to look again.

I think New Braunfels flint is a variant of Georgetown. It knapps very well raw, but its lighter in color than GTown

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

A buddy of mine gave me some heat treated New Braunfels chert.  Some of the best stone I've ever worked!
