Found a few more rocks..
« on: February 11, 2011, 08:41:57 pm »
Jobsite down in Buda, just south of Austin. I always check the rip-rap entryways and stuff on jobs. This stuff is purdy darn good flint but has lots of concrete. Most of the white stuff works pretty well, some of the inclusion's ya just want to get rid of. It's all been blasted out of the ground and most has flaws all through it but there are some good peices. I don't have a clue how deep out of the ground they got it. Damn em for blasting it all to smithereens but bless their hearts for bringing it to the surface where I can get my grubby paws on it ;D.

Wow nice lookin stuff.
Would love to get some of that.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Cowboy ! I am working on a piece of rock you sent me. Looking at your tool assembly,I can see why it just laughed at me when I whacked it with a piece of antler,I brought out "Big Copper" and it fell into line. Thanks again for the rock  '  Frank
