How close are you to Mill Creek on the Union/Alexander county line? The creek itself, has good flint, and there were many ancient quarries along it.

Received my 5 pounds from IMA tonight. Looks like 90 useable for my NWTG, and double that of larger pieces that need work to reduce size, sharpen edge, etc. I’d say absolutely worth the $122.00 I paid just for those 90 as long as they work. I’ll test some this weekend and report back.

Looks good. You seem to have received a larger proportion of the amber (supposedly French) ones than I did. I found them to be somewhat better

I did the 5 pounds and hand select. I realized IMA is about 15 miles south of me. I pass within a few miles on my way to work a few days a week.
