I've been struggling for a loong time to find some flint and then I realized people gave me a bad advice based on one photo and I actually find this blue/green/gray flint quite a lot in my area! Feel so happy now xD I don't understand how people could say it's not flint when I posted photo where it was nice visible translucent edge with green color.
@@Flintknappingadventures Hardest thing was to distinguish fine grained quartzite from flint. A lot of rocks in my area seem to have some grainy outside which is eighter grainy flint or fine grained quartzite and I have to knap it all out to get into the nice glassy core
I have so much chert of all colors it is almost ridiculous here on my property. I have some that is almost zebra stripe colored even. I had my yard cleared off from a woodlot, and a couple rains later I found part of an arrowhead with that zebra stripe look and a couple steps later, I found what was probably the parent rock it came from. It was probably a failed one, but it had been an attempted one. Probably some hunting party, sitting around some ancient fire, after a day of hunting and making some fresh stock. You have quite a skill there.
The areas here were dominated by the Osage Indians who wintered in the Missouri River valley of central Missouri, and hunted the grounds between the Missouri and the north shores of the Arkansas River as late as the first 35 years of the 19th century. Surveyors moved in here by 1835. My mother's abstract deed listed that year as when her property was first surveyed. I assume it is someone like them who made this arrowhead as it's shank is a later design not earlier. We have found many a fragment and nice complete ones as well over the years around here. Clovis points too.
Think its just chert , probably really old and forming in a realy fertile environment, in texas i get them most shades of browns but every once in a while i find some with shades of turquoise or some white translucent
Speaking of dust and or precautions... Get some safety glasses and ear plugs. Dont wanna act like I know (because I don't) but I'm sure those clacks are pretty high in the decibels department. Ya only have 1 set of eyes and 1 set of ears. Better take care of em every chance you get Edit: also, im pretty sure this video had more ads than the law allows 😂

Always test it, if it fractures like glass, its probably a form of flint

Is shale rock too brittle to make arrowheads?
@ww2relichunter667 my friend grinds them into shape
In my area we don’t have naturally occurring flint rocks as far as I know.
That was very impressive especially for a river stone man. Those are so hard
It’s all I work, I have a lot a lot a lot of practice with river rock.
