Drill Cores?
« on: August 28, 2011, 03:35:34 am »
Has anyone ever tried to knapp drill cores before? My neighbour was going to bring me back some chert cores when he goes back to work, said that he can get 2 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch cores. Thanks.

 I have. I've got cores I drilled of black and gray chert in Florida and some I brought back from Brazil. It knaps like any other chert.

 Bushman, I've been doing it 40 years. I very seldom run a rig anymore, mostly supervising and training.
