Oh I also know of a very dense wood that originates from South America. If you can find a block of Itin/Caranda wood, it may be good for making percussion tools.
Knotty:
Hey @Dakota Kid !
I live Minas Gerais (South-East) , and its true, even though those rocks are easy to find, they are also extremely expensive , and since I'm still a starter I wouldn't like to end up ruining some opal for example!
Thanks For Your reply 😉
mullet:
Your copper came to me today. I'll box them up with what I have and try to get them in the mail next week. It might be tough since I have to work out of town all next week.
And, when I was in Patrocinio I saw two deer and a cool looking snake, looked like a cross between a rattlesnake and a water moccasin. They told me it was a viper.
Dakota Kid:
Hopefully you won't have to resort to buying rocks. Just find a river or a lake and start looking, or anywhere roads or train tracks cut into a mountain. I live in an area notorious for having poor knapping rock(unless you like rhyolite). I do still manage to find enough to keep me busy. I'm having a hard time selling my wife on the idea of buying boxes of rocks for me to break, so for now it's local stuff.
Knotty:
@mullet , Great Eddy!
You can send the stuff whenever you'd like, don't worry about timing 👍
Deers are actually quite rare to see around Here, I'm surprised !
While snakes , mostly vipers , aren't Too hard to find.
@Dakota Kid, well where I live there are no lakes or rivers, however , next week or so, I'll go hunting in a place that has rivers and waterfalls, I'll stay there for about 4-5 days, I'll probably go searching for some rocks aswell!
