I went to Denmark to find amazing Flint, this is a small moment of it.
There is a lot of flint in Denmark but its actually quite hard to find the best stuff, I think on this occasion I got lucky and was shown a few amazing places by another well respected flint knapper Peter Wiking who you should be able to find on Instagram quite easily .
You can now join my channel and show your support that will help me to go on and make more content.

This is absolutely astonishing. Every spall makes my jaw drop, it’s so clean. Just so cool.
"Wilma !!!" What a pair of Flintstones. Cheers Will; Peter. Safe journey.
Wow, looks like multiple trips are needed for all that flint. Like how it sings when you break off a piece! Sounds almost metallic meets glass.
Nice to watch the two of you reduce those nodules down. Beautiful place and beautiful flint!
I could listen to the tinkling sound of flint breaking until I fall asleep. Its so soothing and relaxing.
Just wanted to let you know that your journeys and knowledge are so important to me. I live to understand and know the actions of my ancestors, all of our ancestors are the same people no matter the color, race or culture and it's to me the most important thing to ever know. Thank you

Oh my god, what beautiful stone, I would be overwhelmed on how to get all of it back to the van, Will I thought for sure you were gonna put that whole rock in your pack 😅😅🤪🤪🤪😜😜😜
It's a real pleasure to watch craftsmen at work 🙏
Just the sound it makes when you are spalling pieces off tells me it's some awesome high quality material.👍
That is very homogenous material with almost no flaws. The smooth surface of a fracture, the ringing like a bell. I’ve never seen any flint like that.
That looks like an amazing way to spend a few days, just hiking along a beautiful coastline and spalling out huge, solid boulders of incredibly pure flint! It is so satisfying to see those large, clean spalls splitting off the boulder at each blow of the hammer stone. And the sound that it makes each time... sweet music to my ears! Thanks for sharing.
The best, highest quality flint on the planet indeed ! Can't wait to see you knap some, Will. Aho!
That sound of the hammer stone and flake spalling 🎶 🎶🎶off of the core🎶 🎶. Thanks Will.
Amazing video. Its good to see peter there with you, an amazing knapper in his own right. Looking forward to seeing more.
That nodule sings an enchating song! My word.
I am so jealous! Beautiful flint, right on the beach.
Love the sound of flint singing as it is removed from the large block, wonderful video.

The flint sings a similar song as that in Norfolk !
Ive been knapping for 2yrs and ive not had the chance to get any European Flint. Beautiful stuff though. I watched my friend Jack Crafty work some of it a while back. Lovely stone. 😎🏹
That stone sounds amazing, sounds as good as darlington Crystal. The shore line reminds me of here in Devon 40 years ago, unspoilt and natural 😊
Will, you should have done a slow sweep over all the pieces, we never got to see how clean & sharp they looked. What a find.
a blind man could tell that's awesome Flint wow love hearing it ring
Absolutely fantastic footage Will, thanks for sharing your journey with us. I loved watching you and your friend Peter spall those nodules. What wonderful music those stones make.
i know of several knappers that do amazing stitched daggers here in the states many of which have youtube channels. looks like gorgeous rock.
Top man. I realy enjoy your channel 💪💪

Imagine in pre historic times groups of men sitting like this doing the rough proccesing and taking home partly finished products to finish it back home. You can almost see it.
To me it always smells a bit like a match that has just been struck. That's the closetst I could get with what it smells like.

Great looking !!! I hope to see some of it person this coming Fall
Thanks for the info and shareing.
Good tip. I shall follow him up. Thank you Will Lord. Good lyck with the new stone.
Such a mesmerizing watch. Big pieces with so much clean flint are indeed not easy to find! Did you come across some nice crystal cavities too? Occasionally we also find cavities with beautiful botroidal growth.

When the flint sounds like this, you are sure than it's a famous one.
I've never heard of " barking flint " 😂😂😂😂
So happy you got some good flint from here. Looking forward to see you use the flint from here
Order placed. Thanks! Your ice age is due for delivery Thursday at 8pm.
That's cool. Thanks mate
Australian here😭. I can’t find much in my area. Looks great. Good for you. 👍🏼
tink tink, tink tink tink. Sounds like heaven. Beautiful material there.
All hail Will Lord our tribe leader 😊😊😊
I have carried sooooooooo much rock. It’s beautiful but… I am thinking… boat.😉
I think that I'd pad/protect those edges, as well as my pack and body from those edges. Styrofoam peanuts, maybe?
Peter Wiking! Wow! You guys are my favorites! I learned a bunch from Peter! Man! Thats a hell of a blade core! Id sure try to run a few long blades off that! A blacksmith friend of mine sent me a nodule of danish flint. It came from Asel Jorgenson. He is supposedly well known in your parts of the world for Danish daggers and Folsoms I think? He also sent me a knife made by him as well as a few bifaces. I recently came into some more danish flint from a liquidated collection of a flint knapper that crossed the river recently. Anyway I havent opened any of it yet but cant wait to see whats inside. I hope its half as good as what you got there. I hear if they give off fart sounds while spalling your are blessed! Yall need a mule!
I would have hired 100 locals to carry a few tons of it out for me! 😁👴🏻💪🏻🇺🇸
Next time higher a boat for the day.😊
Oh what music... TY OMGS...
Nice!
& hours later... Well heres the arrow head I made :) I hope you were able to ruck as much of that out as you could. But man the excess baggage on the plane must have been just rude :P Cheers Will.

Dude can't wate to see what you make out of the good stuff.
Wow, Will! I'd love to try my hand at this. But here, in the US, I wouldn't know where to start looking.
I’m from East Tennessee u.s and I find artifacts made from flint that looks exactly like that. Waxy and all I just can’t find any big nodgels to nap don’t have a clue where the natives got it here
WOW
