Not sure where you're at in TN , but I've done geology web searches and TN is loaded with good knappable stone. A little research and I'll bet you'll find some places to look ;) .found some good buffalo river chert recently down near Parsons area.

Hey John: When i was staying at pappy's and working about twenty miles away i found quite a bit just stopping at creek crossings and walking them. Ton's of good stuff up there, just a matter of splunking around and not getting shot at :o :).

Im from the Johnson city, and anywhere from there to mountain city, all you have to do Is dig. Ask around with farmers in the area. Someones bound to have saved a chunk or two of stone they tilled up from the ground.
