Anyone hunt where there is horse creek chert?

Always have been fond of the horse creek chert artifacts. Theriverwalker on YouTube has some killers made of it. Nothing like that around here. Was wondering if anyone has some personal finds of this colorful chert.

Now that I see that I would say no I do not. I have found 1 point that is black with a white line running through it. Very pretty but it is only half and the tip is missing. I got the lower half it. It is one of my best Heart Breakers I have ever found and am still looking for the other half.

Here is a horse creek dovetail that would have been spectacular before it had a run in with whatever broke it. I might have to get this one restored.

It's worth mentioning that there some new quarries of the material that have opened up (road cuts I think) that look slightly different than the old material. I'm not one of them, but some of the collectors who chase this material can tell some modern pieces just by the type of stone. (There are also modern pieces made from material from the original quarry as well as many rechips of old pieces.)
