Flint knapping or where to buy flint nodules.

[freedom]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anybody could point me in the right directs to where I could purchase some reasonably priced flint nodules. I am a complete beginner amd have used up my supply of flint making arrow heads. Been using glass but I cannot improve my skills set and need the real thing. Any help would be welcomed.

Cheers

I believe Will Lord gets his flint nodules from here but he tends to buy in bulk.

Whereabouts do you live as if you're in a flint area you can just walk the field edges at ploughing time to pick nodules up for free.

If you cover the postage I can send you any amount you want, Sussex is built out of the stuff. I don’t often pick it up but this bit appealed to me the other day. Gesturing that a cup of tea is a great idea

I was talking to Will Lord yesterday and he was talking about a scenario where he ran out of flint and apparently, he recovered by finding an old chalk mine, as back in the day, chalk was used for lime etc and the flint was stashed to one side. Someone would take certain pieces for buildings and another would take high quality for flintlocks but even then there would remain a massive load of flint that wasn't taken.
Maybe check out a local chalk site near you if there is one..

I'll be hunting for flint too very soon
