@@boatbuilder508 Texas is awesome! Knapping is such a fascinating ability. I met Ed at the Indiana State Fair. I would just stand and watch the rock be transformed. Thanks for your comment!
@@Steve-xr8dn Oh yeah, I need to schedule another rock and fossil giveaway at a Great Lakes beach and lighten the load. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
@@TruthWillSetYouFree832 this flint is very. Easy to polish and comes out fantastic. I am out of grit right now but when I get some more I will be polishing more of this Nethers Farrm flint.
@@timtalksaboutrocks....most6644 I bet it comes out nice just like the others. You wouldn't have picked up just anything. :) I thought about you the other day when we found a plethora of things to pick up and chose to be more discerning.
@TruthWillSetYouFree832 Ha, sometimes I regret leaving something behind but that means I get to make more trips. And for me the fun of finding is better than having.😊
Yes, well he has a shop. :-) For me it is a connection to history and the way my distant relatives survived and thrived. That would be in addition to the amazing geology in Ohio at Flint Ridge. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You've piqued my interest in flint, Tim! :) I have some stuff from the ground recently and haven't been able to ID it. (Illinois) Smaller pieces of what looks like the same material (as the larger I found) is attractive to a strong magnet. Both sizes are black inside. Not sure if it's as glassy as slag. The smaller ones are almost slightly metallic-looking. Found some good "fossil soup" along the way as well. Also slate. Gotta love plain ol'-looking Illinois rocks - they sometimes surprise. :)
I lived in Illinois for many years in the Starved Rock Area and I did a lot of rockhounding to add in my landscaping. There might be some iron content in that flint that likes a magnet. Some don't care for flint and chert but they have their uses and can be beautiful.
Very cool

Great video, I also attempt to limit my rock collecting. The struggle is real.

Ed did a great job! Those look really good. Also, the polished ones are striking! (No pun intended.)
