Edgar, can you get over to Kineo and pick up some hunks of flint for some of our members who want to use it for knapping arrowheads and such?

The shuttle stopped running last weekend, for the season. The guy who runs the boat lives just up the road. If I see him tomorrow I'll ask him to gather a few good pieces, as he also works for the guy who owns the golf coarse. I have a few smallish pieces.

Ironically, a bird hunting friend who lives up here in the summer just stopped by. I asked him about Kineo flint and he said its not really flint at all, but Ryolite. The Indians used it for all their tools just as they would flint.
My friend actually lives in Baltimore and just retired Professor Emeritus, head of earth science at Johns Hopkins. He may be a PGCA member soon.
