Thread: Does anyone know if this is Agate?

  1. #1

    Question Does anyone know if this is Agate?

    I found some of this near my house on some land that's being cleared. I don't know if this is some kind of agate or not. It sparks kinda' but not as good as the flint I found. But if it is agate it can still be used for arrowheads.

    You'd make something out of anything!!! You remind me of the old saying-" we the unwilling, Led by the unknowing, have done so much with so little for so long That we are now qualified to do anything with nothing!!! Oh yeah the last pic is of the flint I'm bringing!!1

    Rick,

    You've got waaaaaaaayyyy too much time on your hands.

    At least you keep them busy on your keyboard and mouse!

    That's OK...

    ...though it would have been really embarrassing, if my post hadn't been funnier, than yours.

    Poco I downloaded it without giving my email. If anyone else wants the making arrowheads pdf at the top of this post just click the "already have it" link on the web page then click confirmations on the next page and there it is.
