Found some chert ?

<< < (2/2)

jamie:
probably onandaga that far north. very nice stuff. tough to work on till ya get used to it. paul from canada loves the stuff.

CHUCKER:
Cowboy its about 50 deg. right now, thats not to bad in Feb. it will have 3 feet of ice over it. I am new at this and will try my luck on the chip I took of the bigger piece.
    Jamie! send me your address and I will mail you a sample to try. I have dried this stone in the oven 2 hrs. @ 200 deg. and thats it.

jamie:
thanks man i will do that. dont worry about heating or drying northern stone. too much heat will ruin the stone. some northern stones are said to be better when soaked. cant vouch for that though.

Hillbilly:
Looksa like pretty good stuff. Like Jamie said, with most chert, the wetter the better. Some people keep flint soaking in water.
