- This is how I heat treated flint from Nether's Farm in Southern Ohio. I used a fire in my back yard. I didn't know what to expect but I am pleased with the result. #rockhounding #rocks #minerals #flintknapping
That turned out gorgeous! I didn't realize how many colors were in flint!! So cool!
I was amazed as well, especially since I just used a fire in the back yard.
I never heard of this process before. This is very interesting and cool to see ! Thanks for sharing😊
I wasn't sure my attempt would even work. Others who heat treat use turkey roasters or other ovens.
I learned something new! I had no idea that this was a thing. Now I know what my neighbors are doing with all those fire pit fires. 😄 Thanks for sharing this. I love those blues. That's really neat how it brought out that banding, too. Pretty Rock Syndrome for the win! 😁
Love your comment. This was fun and I learned some new things. Make it a great day.
@@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644 Thanks, you too!
So to clarify, the ONLY thing achieved from this is more color, right?? I’d advise against what you did but atleast you planned for the explosion Lol 😂👍
Yes. The only thing "achieved" was more color. 🙂 As an aside, I satisfied my curiosity and learned about heat treating flint. Yes, the flint could have shattered. I was wondering if anyone was going to call me out on that, and I appreciate the friendly way you did it. If I was a flintknapper (flint nibbler) I would hope to have produced a flint that would be finer for the knapping through the heat treating process. I have a friend who makes stone points for me that I use for deer hunting. I am wondering if I have a suitable piece to send him to make a point for me. That would be a fun video project for the future. I also got rid of a lot of scraps of wood that I didn't want. Thanks for your comment.
