Where to find flint knapping materials in Montana?

[406Gold]

Hey everyone, hope you are doing well.

I am getting into flint knapping, and was curious if anyone knew of any areas in Montana I can find some material to go out and collect myself to do some knapping. I don't care of the material, I just can't keep ordering it off the internet.

Thanks in advance!

I've never been to Montana, but... I'd just start hunting shallow creeks. Take a good sized billet and a bucket and test any rock that looks promising. Internet will surely guide you to the areas with flint. You'll probably find more agate to knap than flint though. I'd guess Montana has lots of good knapping stone. Gary
