Post by: Pappy on March 10, 2008, 01:31:52 pm

Anybody tell me what this is,I was told it was Dover,it came from Hickman co. Tn.It looks like some of it is pretty good stuff,lots of bad stuff also in the big rocks so you have to kind of dig through it.

That looks like something you need to bring to my house to get it out of your way.  ;D there's a bunch of those TN cherts that intergrade-Fort Payne, Dover, Buffalo River, etc. All pretty good stuff.

Cool,Knotheads boy Chris brought it to me and said he would bring a bunch more before the Classic,so you can sure have some of it,if it turns out to be good stuff.It looked good to me but I am
defiantly no expert on good stuff.I can turn good into bad pretty quick.  :)
