Flint Run!

cowboy:
Thought I'd show you guys where I pick up the majority of my flint. This is a near a little town South of San Antonio TX. I was here roughly a year ago in the winter (with no crops) and the feilds of flint just dissapeared over the horizon - got a truck load along the edges without permission, cause I couldn't find anybody. This time I ran into the farmer and got that permission. Caught him mowing his driveway - I disturbed him for a moment to ask if I could pick up some rocks, he rubbed his chin and studied on it for a bit and said sure, get all you want - uhh what you going to do with em. I showed him some of my points and explained about my illness  ;D, he didn't seem too impressed but sayed they'd found arrowheads on the place. Anyway he took me to some washes on up the road where more rock was exposed - this is what I got away with.

  Oh, I almost guarantee fifty percent of what's laying on the ground is knappable flint.

Jezzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Cowboy.  :o   Bring some of that back to NC. I'll trade you for a bucket.  ;D  Man that is a "GOOD" haul. Hope to see you soon. Let me know if you are within 3 to 4 hr's driving of Mebane.

Hey Cowboy. Can you get me some of the flint seeds? ::) Apparently it grows pretty good down there. I wonder how long the growing season is? ???   Where we live there is that much rock but very little knappable rock. Mostly leaverite(leave er right where it lays) ;D   Pat

Justin Snyder:
Wow cowboy, that looks like a potato field with all the potatoes turned up. Are you sure those are rocks?  How in the world do they plow with all those rocks.  Justin

Marc St Louis:
Nice
