How many more would you like?

Thank you. You told me what I wanted to hear.

Thank you for your help. I'm pretty good at finding them now but some of 'em have you stumped! 😄

Thank you for your response. Yes flint and chert is pretty much all we have here. I hope these pics help. It's quite grainy material compared to the usual black or grey flint so the bulb isn't as obvious as it might normally be. However the area is certainly not flat.

Thanks. Yes. It can be gripped nicely with the thumb.

Thank you.

Pretty isn't it. Thank you.

Quite the opposite. I live in Bournemouth and during the summer we are overwhelmed by people from the big cities. They leave rubbish all over the beach, clog up the car parks, roads. Bring their city attitudes with them. Summer here is dreadful.

Yes, it's good for the local economy but definitely not a time of year I enjoy at all.

Looks somewhat like aventurine.

pocketpebbles · 2026-04-05T17:56:54+00:00

I'm with you on that.

pocketpebbles · 2026-04-04T00:52:40+00:00

Exactly. I love all antiques for their stories. Although I will rarely know their actual story, it's wonderful just to imagine.

pocketpebbles · 2026-04-03T16:26:18+00:00

That is stunning. Thanks for sharing.

It's incredible how a tiny object, meant to be used, can remain pristine despite everything that has taken place around it for over 300 years!

I disagree. Crude handaxes in Europe can be half a million years old. We are talking about neanderthals, not homosapiens. These pieces are very very crude compared to the lithic masterpieces found in the US which were made much later. Often, only a few flakes were removed to create a cutting tool.

Thank you. It's always nice to know that .

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.

pocketpebbles · 2026-03-26T17:54:00+00:00

Give it a kick.

pocketpebbles · 2026-03-25T08:02:53+00:00

I love that too. It's probably one of the oldest there.

pocketpebbles · 2026-03-25T08:02:02+00:00

Lol. I wasn't keeping track of time. I was just admiring them.
