Dustybaer:
cowboy, you're an artist. they look great. i like the long, slender ones best.
cowboy:
Thanks fella's! I'm just tickled to be able to participate. I'm a little concerned with the weight - thought I could measure them on the wife's postal scale, anybody know how to convert oz's to grain's? anywho, the heaviest one came in at 0.2 oz's - the rest of them wouldn't even register? I'm just going to send em all and we'll see which one's fit.
Hey Hillbilly, they really do use it for base down there. I couldn't believe it at first, sure those people get a lot of flat tires - sharp edges sticking up everywhere. I did some back road riding while I was there and found the source, cotton farmer - don't know how he grows anything with all the rock, just disappears over the horizon. hit him up about it, he'll let it go for twenty bucks a truck load - sure he's laughing all the way to the bank - gettin rid of some more rocks. If you'd like some to mess with, I'll load you up one of those $8.00 boxes - It'll have to be spalled and treated.
Hillbilly:
Cowboy, you'd better believe I'd love some of it to mess with! Of course, I won't make points that look as good as yours out of it. The only thing remotely knappable we have here in western NC is quartzite and johnstone lol.

Steve, You are forgetting granite, quartz and saprolite!
Cowboy, There are 437.5 grains to an oz. so multiply .2x437.5=87.5grs
I use a triple beam scale from the 60's that measures in ozs, 1/10 oz and 1/100oz so I learned how to convert.
The hardwood shoots are pretty heavy so we ought to be able to make weight or at least close. Pat
