My family is going to nethers farm on Saturday Jan 2nd to do some Flint collecting. I think he lives very close to where we will be. I would be more than happy to stop in and pick something up for you and then ship it your way. If Saturday doesn't work out I am within a few miles of him every few weeks for work. PM me the details.

I just picked up a couple boxes of mixed rough and Ohio Flint was in amongst the other materials. I have three pieces for slabbing. I've never worked it before. Anything to watch out for when slabbing or cabbing this stuff? What is that you like about it?

Excellent material to work with, just follow the pattern you want to work with, about like picture jasper... It's a tough material, so no fractures and takes a beautiful shine when finished! Two thumbs up
