I know that some of the people on this site hunt early frontier colonial stations (forts) sites. I have been hunting several early sites in central KY and have come up with lots of iron (cooking utensils, pieces of cast iron cookware, gun locks pieces, rod tips, knifes, and lots of s-hooks and strike-a-lites), buttons, a few buckles, and some white & blue English pottery shards.
However, I have found a lot of flint on these sites (Indiana horn-stone and blue flint - not from this area). It is in the form of cores, lots of large flakes, and some gun flints. at first I though it was just remains of an earlier Native American camp but I kept finding flint on almost all of the old homestead sites (way to much for just gun flints). Has anyone else found flint at their early colonial sites?
