Is this true??

Went out geodes hunting today. Didn't find any but found a lot of large flint nodules. Someone told me I can sell them to Knappers. Any idea what I could get for flint nodules??

Looks like about $3.50/lb if it's good stuff. But that is heat treated for better knapping and yours wouldn't be . . .so a bit less. If it is black flint it would be a premium, however.

flint nodules are good with ketchup and knappers are good on crackers

Depends upon the material. If you have some post it in the North American artifact section. They have people who Knapp in there and can point you in the right direction. Lot of money to be made with certain cherts/flints.

Thanks for asking this! I pick them when I hunt artifacts or geodes, and put the big ones in the bottom of the flower pots for drainage. I just pulled some out of the bottom of a pot last night and was going to toss them down the creek bank! Think I'll start a pile and add to it for a few years.
