There is Coastal Plains chert all over Southern Georgia. It ranges in quality from horrible to excellent. Some of it works good raw, some needs heat treating to be knappable. Check Rivers, roadcuts, and construction sites in areas with limestone bedrock. Good flint sources are often like gold mines, not many people will give away their honey hole. :)
