The Obsidian Haul.

[Joezilla]

One bored Wife, watching her husband obsess over dirty black rocks : $52 (the price of a good dinner that night)
Cost of shipping 2 boxes of Obsidian back to NC: $20
-Love those flat rate boxes by the way


Knowing that you now have over 50lbs of obsidian right outside your door, along with finding "hidden" footage I wasn't truly aware my wife made...priceless

ha.. love the video/commentary.. that is a nice haul you got there.. we scored a bunch(more) of obsidian on our last trip to the eastern Sierra's..

 

[PayetteRucker]

We've got the best tooling obsidian in the world in our backyard. Headed to Jarbidge in two weeks, missing the Air Force/BSU home game to climb the mountain and pick some red strained glass. Don't cut yourself Stuff can get sharper than any knife.

Good stuff, bro. Been a while since I got to play around with obsidian.

 

[Erasmus]

Score!

Time to break out some leather and start knapping. Keep the bandaids and some clean water nearby....
Safety glasses wouldn't hurt either.

Great haul Joe, and cool vids...thanks for sharing. I wish I could find some obsidian here in Maryland!! I'd love to make myself a nice little skinner.

I been lucky enough to have a friend send me Obsidian from New York State and another trade me flint from North Dakota... got few pounds here.
Found one piece of flint/chert here in Maryland , stuck to some deep dug shale/slate in a shale pit. ONE PIECE...
The video almost reminds me of an easter egg hunt...
Joe next time use a basket ...
