Flint Hunting Scandinavia #99 Find of the year?! 👀

[@Jigger2361]

...your observations and "field analysis" are THE best on the 'net. I have not heard any American collectors come remotely close to replicating your verbal thought processes and appreciation for the tool/debitage

Amazing how many blade's and cores you find over there, I'm over here right up to lake Erie, and right after your last video I found my first blade core, very big one, thanks for your video!

[@flintingscandinavia1878]

@@davelink1318 Thanks Dave! Yep tons of blade tech over here because so many of their tools and points were all based on bladework. Cool you found a big blade core, I’d be interested to see that. I’ve not seen many from the US 👍

@@flintingscandinavia1878 ok , well I'm not sure what you're E mail address is, or G Mail, also, it will take me awhile to figure out how to do it, I only did this once when I found my first artifact, but I'll work on it, I'm 70 years old now and I don't do computer stuff but I'll try, sorry.

The material of the wood working tool is wild....I've found a few flakes of the same material....No telling how far some of the material traveled 😮❤for trade etc.up and down rivers and along the seas and oceans.

[@flintingscandinavia1878]

@@Pinebedrelics Oh yeah.. Trade extended surprisingly far back then no doubt! Cheers.

[@themama3633]

My belief is we should take or rescue any artifact when you find especially in a famers field. You take it and persevere it or it will get broken and ruined eventually.

[@flintingscandinavia1878]

@@themama3633 I feel the same way 😔 but I can’t do it. Especially in a video I post online.

[@themama3633]

@@flintingscandinavia1878 yes I hadn’t got to the end when I committed. That would be so hard to find something and then leave. You’ll find better and bigger things I’m sure in the future. Thank you for sharing.

[@themama3633]

@@flintingscandinavia1878 I’d like to know what do you do with all your artifacts or rocks? I’ve recently started collecting effigies and debitage and I have so many. I find them everywhere. Small rocks. How do you choose the ones you display and ones you box and put away? Every piece has its on story and history behind.

[@flintingscandinavia1878]

@@themama3633 I leave almost everything in the field. If I happen to find material on a site where I can legally remove it I try to be selective and only take the pieces I’d want to display. I find keeping stuff in boxes is a bit of a waste of time. 😊 Cheers.

[@danielflintknapping]

Finally some UP 😁 That core axe at 9:30 was cool too. Looks like Kristianstad flint judging by the spotty inclusions?!

[@flintingscandinavia1878]

@@danielflintknapping Thanks dude! Ahhh interesting with the Kristianstad flint. It only appears on this field out of all the spots I hunt. Almost entirely in UP work up until now. But yes whatever that thing was, UP or PW it was super nice. Funny because I got word from another Danish UP specialist after I’d uploaded who said it was probably PW 😅 I don’t mind if it is / we’ll never know.

[@danielflintknapping]

@@flintingscandinavia1878 ah well then you need a third Dane UP guy to settle the score 😂
