Ive been playing with some upper mercer i got up at flint ridge. Quality seems to change quite bit throughout each piece i pick up. Here are the ones that have survived so far.

I'm not familiar with that material, but looks like you made some nice points with it. Haft-em up & let-em fly.

Some of that stuff is crappy and some is good material.Did you get it out of a trailer? he's there every year I have bought some nice stuff off of him .You just have to go through it all he lets you take a hit so you can see the grade.I made a killer clovis out of it lat year.Your points look great keep up the good work.

Yeah i got it out of the trailer. All of it i got has some good material in it but some of it has one end real good with thin cortex and the cortex on other end is over an inch thick. If i get any more from him i will remember to check it out better.
