Title: Another Rock Run!!
Post by: chertle on July 24, 2012, 12:26:34 pm
Getting ready to start school in a couple of weeks and quickly learning that two people in the pit eats through the rock really quickly......we went on another rock run.  It was an all day affair trying to find some more "honey holes", not sure if we did but we did find some rock.  The red clay covered rock is from a road construction site >:D It is really neat.  We grabbed a lot of it and hope that it cooks!  The guy that was working the site said there was an Indian camp just a couple hundred yards or so away so maybe it is good rock ??? The rest of the rock is the elusive Indiana Hornstone (mainly) with some really interesting orange chert thrown in :P I have learned a lot from all you guys so I can promise you that the rock I picked up this time was higher quality than the last! It is really disappointing when you haul a lot of rock home just to find out it is freeze fractured!  That is not the case this time ;) Thanks for looking and I hope I can show you some more of my progress as I work through the tonnage >:D
