Rick B. brought along a nice display of the points he has been knapping. He gave me a killer spear point made from the coastal plains chert, he also had a bunch for sale and I got some nice ones.

Wednesday the group went to two locations, the Ray Mica mine and the Sinkhole mine. Everyone had good luck at both.

Bill with some of his finds.

At the Sinkhole we found a lot of nice apatite and garnet. The mine has been turned over pretty good and there was a lot of fresh material to go through.
