Hi,

Excavated field flints left over from building my dads new house.

These flints are perfect for building walls. My father and i recently built a house which had several elevations with flintwork walls, before setting out on this job my father attended a course to learn the best practice for laying these flints (mortars/snapping) and he would be more than happy to pass on knowledge gained to the purchaser. We are professional builders.  These also look very nice for rockeries or ground cover, and the cats dont like them!!

This listing is for one "ton bag" full of flints, and we have approximately ten bags worth available on a first come first serve basis.  It should be noted that these bags weigh more like two tons!  The flints are currently loose in a pile so if you have a grab lorry that would be easiest however we may be able to assist with loading by hand if you bring a flat bed or trailer.  We reckon that the pile in the photograph weighs approximatley 20 tons.
