Re: flint

Hi Mack,

This is probably nothing like what you intend to do with your flint - but I thought I'd contribute to the thread anyway....being as I quite like the look/feel of flint in any form

A friend of mine has a fabulous collection of around 50 Neolithic flint tools, rather like these in the pic below......

She and her husband were farmers and found the flints when they were ploughing their land near Arbor Low Stone Circle....

Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow : Derbyshire : East Midlands : Find a property by map : Properties : Days Out & Events : English Heritage

They have even had interest (a few times) from the British Museum - but they wont part with their collection!
To be honest, neither would I!

Tracey
