My bad, I thought you had said authentic not modern. They are some I've made.

Looking to trade?

Possibly ill post some pics of 3 rite here I have some other I have to go back and get if it ever stops raining. We have gotten 3 inches just this week. The 3 are flint but I do find allot of quartzite cobbles that large. If you can use quartzite it comes in all colors like white and redish.

Where are you from, our main Lithic here in SW Wyoming is both meta and Ortho quartzite so I should be good on quartzite. Is there a way to send you PM on here, or email.

what is the size of them?

The size of most of them is 7x4 top right. Bottom is 5x5. The quartzite usually runs 4 to 5 inches long and 3 inches thick. The 2 big ones in the pics are usually the biggest in size. I have seen some that are much bigger but I cant carry them they are grey. I pick these up in a field where I hunt for artifacts. The only way they could of got there is if the Indians had brought them up from the creek to use later but never got around to it.
