One I found and one I made.

Found this very nice chalcedony broad based Big Sandy this morning in my corn patch!  Very exciting since it's my absolute favorite material and type.

 I like them both, Shannon. What material is the Dalton?

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Fabulous point Shannon! Top shelf. There are alot of old time knappers today that can't make a point that well.

The lil chalcedony is cool looking,do you have access to any of that material?

Ok now I know somethings up! Your points just aren't good , or perfect ,there flawless.  I think he leaves a bowl of cream or bread crumbs or something out at night along with his knapping tools. When the knapping elves eat his crumbs & drink the cream they thank him by making his points. THAT'S what I think.

Thank yaw :)
 Tim, every once in a blue moon I'll pick up a piece of that stuff but it's always too small or cracked to use. I've never seen a big piece of it :'(
 Tower, you reckon if I put that on my lawn mower they'll get the hint? ;D
