New knapping spot

THAT'S A PHAT PILE OF ROCKS!! Now I know how a crackhead feels. "Hey Man, let me get one of those. I got this car stereo. How many I get for dat?"    :laugh:

I'm officially jealous.  :'(

 I have to hunt for an hour or two just to find a few fist sized chunks of Onondaga and often they are pre-cracked from frost. One good smack and it turns into a pile of little cubes.  The hunting would be better if I drove a few hours north, but I rarely have a free half day to gather stone. The couple boxes that I have purchased really spoiled me. Before that I though I was just no good at knapping. Unfortunately, I think the wife will try to have me committed if I buy another box of large rocks to smash into smaller rocks. Well, I suppose when you put it like that it does sound a little like a mental disorder.

Congrats on the new man cave. I rigged up a box fan with a filter to help with the dust when I'm indoors. A mask is a good idea, but I dislike re-breathing my own hot air and  the foggy safety glasses.

Woowa!  Nice stach Tracker.
Alot of those nodules look like creek finds.
Is the big hunk quarried?
Can you show some Dasite?
Thanks Zuma

Tracker0721:
That all came from digs at glass buttes and a few fist sized chunks came from picking em up on the top of little butte. I used to have all my rock sorted out to what flavors of obsidian and dacite they were but now it's all just chunked in together

StumblyRhino:
What a pile of rocks! Beautiful.
