Title: A handfull of ammo
Post by: FlintWalker on September 22, 2009, 11:52:58 pm: I chipped these out for David Knight.
They ain't real pretty, but I was looking for function rather than form.
Sharp, thin and pointy ... ::) I knew a girl like that once. ;D
They weight 113, 135, 113 and 109 grains. I like the 135 best.

I hope you get to run some of them through something in a while. >:D I'll try to get them out to you this week David. I been under the weather today though. I just got back from the doctor. Had some blood drawn to test for Lymes and such. I been so weak today, I doubt I could pull a greased string from a chickens butt :D

Post by: ken75 on September 23, 2009, 10:57:57 pm: im with peted i would like to know what type of rock that is (beautiful points by the way) and where we can find some
Title: Re: A handfull of ammo
Post by: FlintWalker on September 24, 2009, 12:41:31 am: Ken, that's Sonora flint from Kentucky. It comes in nodular form and is quite scarce. It only occures in a very small area in Hardin county Ky and that area has been picked over heavily for 30 or so years. These days, if you spend a day looking and come away with a 5 gallon bucket full of hunting point size pieces, you done well...very well.
It's good rock, but hard to get.
