Went to my new super secret spot to see if they had started digging more, I was only going to scout I swear! I came home riding low though...hanging my head in shame of my addiction to collecting knapping rock

Lol you should have seen my wife's face when I told her I brought more home. I had to promise to give some away

...hanging my head in shame of my addiction to collecting knapping rock
at the pick of my addiction I made 80km by bicycle just to collect a few pounds of stone
perseverance of the nuts rules the world :D :D ;)
nice rocks you got there.
-
Gut I'd be more than happy to send some rock your way I have a ton. Glis I guess it's better than other addictions we could have. It's funny because even though I have plenty every time I see a straight rock on the ground I want to check and see if it's any good
-
Wow! Are you spalling and treating rock, Allyn?
-
Parnell I do spall it but I'm starting to collect so much i might start storing it in the round outside. I'm running out of room in my basement. I haven't heated anything yet but I just bought a turkey roaster for 15 bucks. I don't really mind tougher stone as long as flakes run but I do have some stuff that has chalky spots or hard crystal pockets and I do want to try to heat some of that and see if I can make it better but this harvester is really nice it's super sharp and glassy in the raw form.
-
I sure would give it a try.. of course I would pay you for it.. gut
-
Gut send me your address and I'll send you some to try. What sizes do you want?
-
:-K
-
Dood. If you want to sell any of what your collecting, I’ll pay you, come pick it up, and buy you a steak if you happen to be somewhere between Wyoming and SC. That is killer!
-
Well I am in Missouri so if you're ever traveling through you can have some.
-
I really need to get down there sometime. Got some good friends not far from you.
Been saying that for years already though.
