collecting flint/chert in GA

Hey all, so I asked the almighty Google about flint sources here in GA and it gave me back a paper from early 70's that actually lists roads/bridges/etc where flint can be found on the surface...on a road trip for work I took an hour to look around.  I found this piece just laying on the surface.  I haven't done much with it yet but there might be a point or something in there.  Pretty neat finding a paper online and then finding rock laying beside the creek...I see some more collecting trips in my future.

Go to Flint River, Ga. or Savannah. Flint River has the famous butter scotch looking Coastal Plains Chert.

Looks like something I'd have to hit.

So far it is proving pretty tough rock, hope to cook it this weekend. P

Pat B:
Eddie, what rock is around Savannah? The only rock I remember is ballast stones on River Street. Some of it was English flint but they frown on folks hauling it off. I've heard there are some ballast rock piles on the barrier Islands but I've never seen any.
