Title: Nice haul (rocks)
Post by: cowboy on December 07, 2007, 09:21:13 pm
Workin down south around San Antone again - just had to check that creek out ;D. The farmer said I could clean all the rocks out of his field for about a month if I wanted to, but I didn't hehe. Anywho, you can't really see flint in the pic but it's there, just gotta see through the cortex. I squatted the ole 3/4 ton and went home with it.
 Picked out a likely victim and went to work. Was a good peice, and is now a bunch of good peices ;D. Got the core  just about to the pressure flake stage and got tangled up with some of that TX concrete - oh well an arrow head and a blade are better than one big blade I reckon ;).

Good looking rock. I thought that was an essential part of making big blades  ;D Seems like I do that more often than not on ones that size. >:(

Cowboy thats nice stuff! If I had that much maybe even I could some day make a point!! :) Wife & I once visited Fort Richardson Off RT380 In Texas. Simular rocks there but had to fly home next day. You got to love them Texas washes!

Yea, that's purty standard procedure to not make any real big one's ;D. I gotta work on those isolation's a little more.
 Hey Chucker, you were near my old stompin grounds at Fort Richardson. It's actually on Hwy 199 in Jacksboro - 380 runs into it coupla miles down. Don't think theirs any flint around there, just a lot of limestone - but theirs points around, they had to find it somewhere.....
