Those big one really need to be sawn.  It's not every day you findthat kind of rock in sizes like that.  Really rare stuff.  I'm so jealous it hurts ;D

I am not going to touch those big eggs they will be traded to sold at knap-ins it would be silly not to have them cut.
 I have allot of 3 to 7 inch chunks for trade right now.

 Sure Eddie i got a big one with your name on it. we can work something out at the classic.

 hope you realize what you have got there Jess? When I first started knapping I run across a house site that was full of high grade Jeff city nods. I got 15 buckets and ruined about all of it before I knew what was what. I have never found rock that good since.

cherish those rocks buddy and grats on a great haul!

P.S. I just sold a big billet a while back.....Wished I still had it now!
