Once this insane heat wave breaks for good, I'm off to Nethers for my fill of flint! Amazing stuff for sure.

Don't forget to tell me about your plans if you'd like some company. Only 3 hour drive for me and I am self-employed (or is it barely-employed?) so I can go any day of the week. We can tag team them rocks if that's a winning strategy. If we have a productive outing, jasoninsd might join me next year for a second round.

I like where this is heading!!!

It will most likely be on a Saturday towards the end of Sept.

Sounds good. A couple of day's notice would be plenty. If it works out, great. If not, no problem.

Thanks Mike!

They're definitely toward the top of my favorites list too! I love the variability, the looks, as well as the workability of this material.

How’d I miss this for almost a month? That’s some pretty stuff — both the flint and the plasma agate.
