Looking for flint 2016

[David_JAFO]

hello,
Woody sounds awesome BTW. I'd love to see an image of the axe head. If you have a steel striker give it a bash Quartz throws sparks too. If you do find flint let me know & maybe do a deal on costs/postage etc..
Regards

The axe head is still in his "treasure" box with a load of quartz , agate , fossils and all sorts of "artefacts " that he keeps finding...
(He's waiting for me to .make him a shelf/display cabinet thing... It's on the to do list.but that's another story.)
It looks like just pure iron ore looking at the axe head, magnetic and heavy as you like. .
He's really proud of that one.
As for the flint , we'll start collecting the stuff this weekend and we ll send you a load when the box is full...
Cheers

Sure thing will try and strike it , but doesn't the steel have to be somehow fandangled to some RC something or other? Like carbon rich or something???
Anyhow will take a picture and post it here tomorrow as it's getting late now.

As for postage no worries sir, it's on me... It's the least a "civy" can do for a veteran gentleman like yourself, who most likely devoted half his life to serving our nation. And more than likely have put your life on the line, many a time , for our benefit.

Besides it's time for me to give back to this community, as I've watched video after video and downloaded a number of books and booklets of information here! For free!!!!!

Oh and it's for a good cause.

I ll ask you for an address when the box is full...

Pictures of the "axehead" are on photo albums on my profile page...

Here I thinks http://www.naturalbushcraft.co.uk/fo...php?9620-Woody


Feel free to comment, as I'm not even 100% sure it's and axe head...

It's heavy and it sticks to magnets.... So it must be steel . ?

hello,
Thanks Woody for the images. If I were you, I'd see if I could find more details maybe the history of the axe head, you never know, where there's one there could be other finds. I don't see myself as a 'Veteran' or use such to gain anything "the best job I ever had" as the saying goes. I'm proud to have served my country, travelled, made the best friends I ever had in the process. I'll pay you or as a previous NBCUK trade make a donation to any charity as recompense. Quartz (agate) throws sparks again with quartz not all agates like so are hot it's a kind of hit or a miss (pardon the pun.. not intended).
