Those are nice...do you know if they are Kentucky or Indiana Hornstone? Can that particular rock (color/quality) be found in both states?

I would like to find some of it also if you get info on a honeyhole.. 8)

I have not been to it before, what are the dates this year? It looks like a cool event. I usually go to the flint ridge knap-in in the fall since i live up around dayton ohio.
