Mar 24, 2016 · One of my favorite scenes in Jeremiah Johnson is when he was struggling to get a fire going with flint and steel. Just when he thinks he has it, the snow falls on his fire lay and snuffs it out. When I think about what our forefathers went through, it makes me glad that I am an amateur experamental archeologists rather than someone who stakes ...

Oct 28, 2011 · Flint is very rare, i have to go digging in old tree holes and quarries to even find one tiny piece. But if you find a good piece of quarts or any other rock with a decent angle on the sides then it can be used to throw sparks from steel.

Feb 29, 2024 · It occurs in areas of limestone in the Flint River and other areas of Georgia. It's yellow to brown in color, very brittle, and has a glossy luster. The nodules and pieces are usually covered in a white coating. But that seems to be the case with a lot of chert, especially nodules. Especially the nodules found on the Flint River.

Jun 7, 2012 · Tough to work with though. I've found that the harder rocks produce better sparks and their edge lasts longer. Much more difficult to work with though, especially when trying to produce optimal edge geometry. I believe flint is so popular because it scores very high in both workability and hardness. Best of both worlds.

Mar 16, 2014 · I picked up this double bit not that long ago and was thinking about restoring it. This would be my first axe restoration. The only markings I can find on it is the True Temper Flint Edge stamp, and it weights about 3 pounds. I've done some research, but I …

Jun 9, 2019 · Is Flint River worth a look, I’d say so. Then again every WMA out there has potential. I just prefer the larger WMA’s just because I have more options in case my prescouted spots turn out to be someone else’s spots.

Nov 12, 2023 · Did not see any e-bikes or here a lot of shots. Did see some deer but nothing I wanted to harvest. This was my 4th quota hunt there and I have taken a nice 9 point and a 230 lb. 10 point and always see deer there. However the place has really changed due to lots of timber harvested. My favorite spots were all clear cut. Still love the Flint ...

Oct 1, 2022 · There's plenty along the front range, look in creek beds, or draws where the water washes through. I've found plenty, quite a bit in the form of Ute or Cheyenne arrowheads, look in low lying juniper-pinon scrub, anywhere you think a Ute would have liked to live, they focused around deposits of flint/chert it seems.

Sep 16, 2024 · @Medicine maker Ötzi Sir, may I enquire where's the flint was harvested from? I'm good for flint from around the UK & the nodules you have vary in colour. "I'm In" for @SSGN-Doc as I've GAW lots of sparky stones to members & thought someone who hasn't received a GAW from me. (typing out loud) I may even do a wee GAW myself. Regards David

May 12, 2021 · AH- the Flint River Outdoor Center owns a put-in at a place called “Goat Mountain”. A little over 5 miles above the Bluff. Maybe 6. That would be 5.5 miles from the Bluff to their shop at the 36 bridge.
