It looks like most of your obsidian is surface collected. Do you ever dig it up. To me the obsidian out of the ground usually has less flaws & is easier to knap. Maybe I wrong or maybe I just like digging in the dirt.

You’re correct, much of the surface material is banged up or freeze cracked. Everything I got from glass buttes was surface finds because I did a quick trip and didn’t have time to get in the dirt. I like knapping surface finds because if it breaks I can blame it on the material having flaws 😉

Were do you buy the copper boppers that you are using? Great video!

Thank you! It was a set of 5 from eBay but I can't remember which seller I bought from. They're lead-filled copper boppers.
