 The stuff with the white cortex will have the most color. That's land find. The other, light blue, look's like it's from the Alafia river where Jesse and I went. It has nice pollups.  That piece in the top left hand corner, about 11 o'clock looks like ledge or St. Marks Pin-head. Don't heat it. It is already the best.

eddie this is one i did today out of a piece of flint laying in my horse pasture. im positive its coastal and i think it might have been heat treated by NA's it worked easy.not much color but lots easier than raw coastal ive found

 Yea, Pasco county would have been my guess, too.  The pictures we posted of JC's yard was mostly Pasco county. Ken, Piper heat treats a lot of that Coastal and it flakes real good. I had some in this bach, too.

if its fired and got some red and white then its pasco. I had a site that produced coral raw with orange and yellows in it, when cooked orange turns red and yellow turns orange.

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Hope y'all don't mind me bringing this back up to the top, but I've got some Missouri Chert that I've been knapping at for some time now. I just can't get it to flake like I want it to, so I'm thinkin' I'll give this a try, and Alergic Hobbit gave me this link........Thanks Man!

I've got a great place to do this and a big kettle to do it in, but I'm gonna do it Southeast Redneck Style if ya don't mind.  ;D

SEMO, Cooking most chert like I did or around 400-450 dgs in a roaster really helps it alot, unless it is concrete in disguise.
