surface finds quartz crystal collecting trip with the dog to central Ohio 

A lot of people that flint knap heat treat their stuff, not sure why on the jaspers

@@diggingappalachia954 they sure do. I was told a kiln at 400’f temp walked up slowly and then back down. And yes it’s the flint ridge region east of Columbus. There’s a museum in the area with some very neat pieces on display as well as neat history on the area that I do recommend checking out to add to the experience. You can walk through a path where the natives used to mine their flint for arrowheads and other such tools from what I understand. It is incredibly sharp I will say that!

If you ever get a chance they have a knap in there every year, it’s a stone tool makers show, I only know of a few of them around

@@diggingappalachia954 I almost always miss it so I need to key my eyes peeled!
