Port muck Flint beach

I visited Port Muck on a tip off from a friend and found a beach covered in flint nodules ready for the harvesting. A lot of the flint has had the cortex removed through wave action which means it has been bashed about a bit but I was able to make a usable knife in a few seconds. The beach is perfect for material for small blades arrow heads etc.

Good one. I well remember the flint on the beaches as a youth. No flint to be found on beaches over here though, more is the pitty.
Regards.
