Coastal Plains chert?
« on: August 17, 2012, 12:55:19 pm »
I picked this stone up at the Johnson City knap-in. The gentleman I got it from thought it was Coastal Plains, but he wasn't real sure. What ever it is it knaps great. Hope y'all enjoy this Montell point.  Tower

Man Tower, your work is aspiring! There is a pic in the new issue on finding flint that looks just like it.

dude that thing is ....UGLY!!  C'mon now, don't go posting garbage like that on here or else you'll just turn people off to flintknapping.   Mine look so much better than that....they have a width to thickness ration of 1/1.  They're so thick  they're basically a ball.  Edges are dull as hell and I use them for paperweights cause they sure can't be used for hunting.  Now, see if you can beat that..... then I'd REALLY be impressed!!   ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
