Early to work, the weather, well, fall - leaves turning, the lake a deep glittering blue, comb the beach for flints and new finds.
Odd rocks and a few worked bits of flint - bottom right of center, a serrated edge, micro-blade, upper right 2 heavily worked bits of flint.
I'm joined by a mallard who's clearly interested in what ever it is I'm doing...
Helping me to look. Having taken the picture I zoom in and see loads more rocks of interest, it helps that the camera doesn't capture the waves, it's still, and so I can take my leisure looking through the photos.

Next day, early again, more flints, looking beneath the waves:
Jasper, flints, and one big scraper or hand axe that perfectly fits the hand, clearly - chipped into a tool.
Not a pretty piece, but substantive.
