I wish there were more of us searching over here in the UK. Have you watched ' flint hunting Scandinavia'? Worth a look on KZfaq if you like European lithics.

@@farthing751 yeah he had some issues but it's all sorted now. The authorities are very touchy about lithics. He's starting hunting flint again but leaves the finds in situ,just records the finds and moves on. He's definitely up and running again though.

@scottlaugher-flintknapping awesome thanks for the info- is worked flint prolific in parts of Britain as they are in his part of Scandinavia? I would assume more in the southern counties of England. And is it extremely rare to find pieces with good retouch?

Where are you based? I'm out looking often and am finding some nice pieces. Mainly cores,small blades and lots of debitage. I'm actually off to the museum this week with a box of assorted bits and pieces. Lots of prehistoric pottery and fingers crossed a possible arrowhead(an oldie if it is). Great to see other people out and about doing the same.

In Lincolnshire. Great to hear that there is also someone else out there looking and finding. I’ve only found 1 arrowhead in 10 years of looking!

@@scoutingforkeels I'm not 100% that I do have one. It looks very plausible though. It could be just a piece of blade core as it has beautiful removals running lengthways along it. I've had a knapper I know to look and he's not 100% either. I'll find out hopefully tomorrow. I'm based in between Caversham and Henley on Thames. I'm searching fields that would be the first dry land above the Thames floodplain. I figured it would've been prime land for a camp. I'm also a knapper of some 35yrs or so and can usually recognise worked flint. I started to find quite a lot. I think I've found two hotspots(camps) so far. Early to late neolithic. We think the possible arrowhead would either be Mesolithic or weirdly mid neolithic(if it is one) Also been finding lots of prehistoric pottery. Years ago I did some big footings in Wallingford and was finding big shards of Saxon pottery. I was working alongside an Archeologist. Turned out I was clipping the edge of the great defensive ditch around the town. Well it was also used as a midden so I dug a huge amount of Saxon pottery....I think I'm also finding Saxon. Basically continuous habitation in these fields. It's all quite exciting(I think) and will get so many answers tomorrow hopefully. Thanks for replying.

@@scottlaugher-flintknapping wow, that does all sound interesting. People do tend to still live where other people have so most places will have everything from the Stone Age, through Celtic, through Roman, Saxon and medieval. Always great finding something historic!
