mullet:
I'll wait till after the Holidays are over then I'll load some boxes up. When the pit at Twin Oaks get shoveled out I think it gets dumped in the creek. A lot of times someone in the club will leave spalls or partial worked pieces in the pit till they have time to work on them. So it would be best to ask first before taking any flakes.

Russ:
I found a source for rock. My friend has land that was a limestone quarry. One of Nebraskas only flintknappable rock is there

Hawkdancer:
Russell,
Did you get to work with the chert I sent?  There is a lot more in that rock pile!  I haven't gotten to it yet.

Russ:
Yes Ive worked with the rock that you sent me. I'm going to send a couple to a guy to heat treat them and see how that affects them. Unheat treated it hurts my knee and wrist like a ...........   But it flakes really good! just gotta hit it hard :KN :KN!

Hawkdancer:
Thanks for the warning!  I'll cook it a bit before I start working it!
