Sep 16, 2018 · From an earlier post about flint-knapping, should be relevant here as well, depending on how big your flint is. Smaller flint requires a smaller than "goose-egg" stone. I prefer a heavier striker and can often resharpen a flint using the top of striker as a knapping tool. I'll try to help what I can. I'm sure there are others here more experienced.

Mar 24, 2016 · One of my favorite scenes in Jeremiah Johnson is when he was struggling to get a fire going with flint and steel. Just when he thinks he has it, the snow falls on his fire lay and snuffs it out. When I think about what our forefathers went through, it makes me glad that I am an amateur experamental archeologists rather than someone who stakes ...

May 16, 2012 · At the last show I went to I found a dealer with some rather low end chert marked "Ohio Flint" in an old plastic bin under the table. I got two pieces a little bigger than baseballs for $2. The stuff is fine for fire kits but mot the best for knapping.

Nov 12, 2023 · Did not see any e-bikes or here a lot of shots. Did see some deer but nothing I wanted to harvest. This was my 4th quota hunt there and I have taken a nice 9 point and a 230 lb. 10 point and always see deer there. However the place has really changed due to lots of timber harvested. My favorite spots were all clear cut. Still love the Flint ...

Feb 16, 2013 · Really wanting to try flint-and-steel for fire starting but wondering if I can find suitable flint for this in my area? I live in north Georgia, about an hour north of Atlanta. I fish for trout in a lot of streams further north pretty regularly. Also, I would like some info or pics of what it looks like so I will know what to be looking for.

Sep 16, 2024 · @Medicine maker Ötzi Sir, may I enquire where's the flint was harvested from? I'm good for flint from around the UK & the nodules you have vary in colour. "I'm In" for @SSGN-Doc as I've GAW lots of sparky stones to members & thought someone who hasn't received a GAW from me. (typing out loud) I may even do a wee GAW myself. Regards David

Aug 3, 2010 · Used to find a lot of chert and some flint nodules in gravel bars along the Brazos, and there is Alibates flint found along the Red River. Walking plowed fields in winter (with permission ! ) especially after a rain, you can find both flint artifacts- points, scrapers, etc, and a lot of debris in places.

Nov 7, 2011 · There is a large number of flint nodules in the limestone that get crushed up before we get it spread on our roads. In our woods, often I will find chert (or flint) in streams, because the limestone is soft and erodes, the flint (chert) nodules are harder and wash down into the streams.
