Stan: My then rural Pennsylvania family have always treasured finding these little artifacts from the past. My paternal grandfather would walk specific farm fields after a good rain, something he did well into his 80s. He had also found some pre-revolutionary English coins (pennies) in that area over the years and he always theorized that some significant conflicts had occurred there in the now-distant past. I believe "knapping" is the term for the forming of flint and chert into arrowheads and spear points? It is done with antlers if I remember correctly. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](http://i.imgur.com/pxu6S7Ch.jpg) From my scouting trip yesterday. The mismatched body panel colors make it really fit in up here.

That Greener is a beautiful shotgun. You are a lucky man to harvest those wonderful birds with it.

Have a search for Grimes Graves flint knapping museum, over here in Norfolk, England.
It is a fascinating place. You can buy selections of new flint ready for your musket or pistol all in different sizes.
