It is Redhand. From Tooele drive south to Vernon. Pass through the town (stop at the silver spur for a bite to eat) keep going south until you get the the railroad (about 4 miles) turn left. The dirt road is a monster if its wet. You can see the pit from down the hill a bit. It is about 2 miles from the highway to the pit. Someone takes a front end loader and digs it out, so it is scattered all over the ground. Some is very coarse, and hasn't been good for knapping. I just took my rock hammer and broke a corner off chunks until I found good chunks. Also, it doesn't flake very well, it is very very tough. Mine has been heat treated at 680 degrees for 12 hours. I'm am going to try another batch at a higher temp to see if that improves the flaking. If you don't have access to a kiln, let me know. I can make another run and get some heat treated and if you come out I can trade heat treated for raw. Let me know. I'm in Sandy.
