My guess on fattyboombatty would be Gibson or Hopewell. Material looks like Pipe Creek. Just my opinion.

Thanks 37... LOL... Thats its new name... The Fattyboombatty point found 8 miles from the pipe creek flint source!

I recently got some Pipe Creek points from up that way in the mailbox. It's really nice looking stuff, hard to track down too. Seems like everybody wants to sit on their Pipe Creek...I can't blame them.


Nice point dude.

I live about 150 yards from pipe creek... Most people identify it as flint, but its actually chert. The source is on NASA property.

pipecreek fishspear nice one too

aha... i was waiting for someone to ring in with fishspear. Was my original guess. thanks Jeff, and everyone else!

 

[Th3rty7]

Fishspear...I concur. Fits the type better than my guess.

My first thought was an Ohio Fishspear Point as well. Looks to be a classic example. Very nice find.
