Anyone have an idea where or how to find knappable coral around or just south of Tampa Florida????

Don't think you will find much south of Tampa Bay. Most of it is found from the bay, north, all the way into southern Ga.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Eric should have looked under the bridges he drove over. Most of the slopes are covered in Brookesville and Ocala limestone with some real good chert mixed in, a lot of rootbeer.

Or, called me. I had some coral waiting for him to pick up.

most people think the whole state is covered in coral, but truth is only a few counties have it and there are no places to just pull up to and find any ......like Mullet said, most bridges, especially new bridges all have chert mined from the Vulcan mine in Brooksville as erosion control , some of it has a light purple color to it, some very quartz but the darker stuff works well
