Last Saturday on the Norfolk coast Found a natural flint whistle. Yes you are reading right. It's a round flint about the size of a golf ball with a 1 - 1.5 mm diameter hole going into it. When you blow straight into the hole holding the flint about 1 inch away it gives a great sound.
No one I've spoken to has heared of anything like it but I can't help wondering if any of these musical stones have been found on prehistoric sites. It's definately easier to pick up a likely stone and blow than sit and make an Ash whistle.
Just goes to show what you can get if you use the bushcraft skill of keeping your eyes open a bit.
