I believe Dylan said he would send 2 boxes, so he's on the list twice. (Just a typo with the last digit.)

Looks good guys. Please post pics of whatcha get so we can all drool over the rock porn.  >:D >:D

Hey Redhand,

If you like, we can meet halfway somewhere (say Strawberry Reservoir) if you want to save on postage.  i would love to see some of your stuff first hand.  Let me know.

Ya that would be cool Jeff if you don't mind waiting a few weeks. My weekends are pretty much full until November. Or unless you can meet sometime during the week.

Ho ho it's Xmas time!!!    Got my box from Mullet today!!!!    It's about as round as they come but his killer tape job held!!!   It's full of ???   I got to figure this out, there are preforms in it, some really nice big snapped blades that are very wild colored and will make short knives or big arrowheads. I like these a lot!!!  LOL I think some flint ridge, then from there I am lost!!!  LOL There are gray, white, black, brown, rootbeer???   Then there is pink, red, orange, spotted, I tell you a lot of rocks, spalls, preforms, almost finished pieces that snapped but I will be able to pressure flake them to finish very nicely!  Then there is a giant hunk of maybe coral?  Another really big piece that has lumps like . I think it might be pedernales or some form of Texas flint because it has a really thick cortex. There is also a possibility it's rootbeer color. Awesome box of goodies! Thank you Mullet!#!   

Now the problem, I can't send pics to flicker or photobucket. I can email them from my Samsung S5 cell phone. Or I can text them from the cell phone. Could I get a hand with this by asking one of yall to let me send you the pics and get you to put them in this thread. Somewhere on here it says to post pics of what you got. I do want yall to see these!!#

Thanks, Bill

Glad you like it, Bill. The big piece in the bottom is a coral head. The rest is and assortment of what I have. The rootbeer is Florida chert that you normall don't find enough to knap but once in a while I drill at the limerock quarry and pick through the spoil pile during lunch. Enjoy ;D

Hey Mullet thanks again, it's a great assortment!   The big rootbeer is special!   I can't wait til 2moro afternoon when I get back from the doctor, I am gonna try one of those pretty snapped blades! Maybe a rounded skinner with a gut hook? Yes!!!
