1st - I noticed this is your very first posting - so, welcome aboard from the great state of Pennsylvania (USA).

2nd - You didn't mention your state (or country) - but you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting your state for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

3rd - Nice finds ChrisandJoe.

yep english grey flint with (lead?) wrap on it so the jaws could hold it easier, I have used a similar setup in my flintlock guns. no way to tell age except maybe in how and where it was found.
