Post by: VenomBOWslinger on March 06, 2010, 06:40:17 pm

Good day gentleman I hate the snow I have been waiting to go searching some prospects I have found for normanskill, esopus, snakehill, and onandango cherts.  I havent had much knapp time and what little bit of obsidian and flint I had well I guess I can  take a pic and show u all.  I am looking for something to knapp in the meantime.  I looked into ebay and didnt find much there I found a site Flintknappingspalls.com...looked ok not much to chose.  Hey if I sound like I'm rambling sorry cause I am LOL Well if U'all can give me a nifty site or feal like donating me one spall I'll repay the favor when I find the mother load in a few weeks!  Thanks guys!!!

I've been an opportunist mostly ;D. Don't know about up there but apparently I don't mind hopping a fence or two down here ::). Any creek bed or river crossing is fair game, new dirt work at jobsites, behind dams, in the dams, landscaping in parking lots and other places, rock shops for glass and obs. Wherever you can find it and get away with it is usually where I get mine. Oh and I do ask permission a lot of the time too ;D.
