  6. @Edessa I remember looking for flints when I was a child. Until 8 years old I lived in Thetford, Norfolk in the UK. The place was awash with them. One of our favourite places was called Grime´s Graves. It was used as a Neolithic mine for hundreds of years. In about 2500BC, miners began carving out the tunnels using tools made from deer antlers to mine the flint for use in everyday items and tools. There was also a local pub called The Flintknapper´s Arms.
