So two nights ago me and a buddy stopped by this little privet pizza joint and the guy making the pizza was showing another guy some artifacts he had found. I started talking to him about flint knapping and though the guy never tried to knapp, he was telling me about a bunch a flint he Sees at one of the places he hunts arrow heads.
Well Abby and me went and picked up a pizza from there tonight and he said he would like to get me some of that rock, so i asked him were he was getting it and he gave me directions and drew a map.
From the way he described the rock i think its Sonora Flint also known as Kentucky Blue. Going to go check it out tomorrow hope it pans out.

Munching on popcorn and waiting for an outcome here. ;)

You are lucky. Good pizza and stone

Hey Shannon!, Jesse's coming to get your stash. :'(

Not a bad run. I got about 150lbs. mostly arrow head sized stuff.
I drove all over the area but only this one field had the rock.
It is Kentucky Blue some of it looks sorta like horn stone though. Its real glosses and flacks very well.

Wait just a cotten pickin minute! You better keep yer a** away from there, you'll get shot! ;D
Was that area in Hardin Co. by any chance? Maybe somewhere around Flint Hill?
-
i think i was in logan Co. wut ever Co. that is east of Tod Co.
-
by the way...my address is...............
-
ooooh!, I got a new buddy to suck up to. ;D
-
That is some pretty looking stuff Jesse, does it need heat or do you work it raw?
-
I'd say that's Ky Blue. At first it looked like Sonora, but if it didn't come from Hart or Hardin Co. it's not Sonora.
I don't think it's hornstone either. Ain't that stuff in nodular form?
Either way, it looks like super slick stuff. I hope you come up with a ton of it. ;)
-
Dang nice stuff jesse! I'd say blue also.
Were is the Dover chert from?
-
Dover chert is found southwest of dover T.N i got a buddy thats supposed to be showing me some spots to get it.
Rick it dose not need any heat its supper slick raw.
Shanon this stuff is all broken nodules.

Next week, when I'm down there. If you're around we'll compare it to some of my Sonora. It looks exactly like some of the stuff I picked up. A rock dealer friend of mine said that Ky blue, Sonora, Ky black and hornstone were pretty much all the same stuff. Just called different names depending on where it comes from.

That's some nice looking rock. It looks like there ought to be plenty of points in it. Don't forget to post pictures of your completed work.
