All I can say is that it must be awesome to be able to hunt for your own rock.  That is a great haul, and a nice point.

I can't stop looking at that stuff.  Up where I found that sonora/Ky blue, a BIG piece would have been 6" long. Most of it was little 2-3" stuff :(  I bet nobody ever collected any flint where you got that.

I know Shanon.. I'm going to take a pry bar with me tomarrow and pock around in the soft ground and see if i find any submerged in the dirt. I'm hoping to come home with as much as my silverado will carry!
 I am amazed how solid this stuff is.. i spelled up two nodules and there were no cracks!! i am not going to spall any more of the big ones i am going to sell or trade them whole because they really need to me cut.
 I'll keep you posted on how i do tomarrow.

Jesse:

Those dudes with the beards often own large tracks of land.
And they know their land very well.  Most are nice folks.
You should approach some of them about looking for rock on their land.
Make a few heads to give them so they will understand what you are looking for.
