I know very little about North American Indian artifacts. What is something like this worth?

I want to "Thank You" all for your Very Kind remarks, and a special "Thank You to those who voted banner! The banner nomination is really no comparison to actually finding one and picking it up after having laying there for so many thousands of years.

:notworthy: "Thank You"! Everybody! :notworthy:

I wonder if the small chip was due to an impact with bone?

Awesome point you found, lifetime find for most hunters. It's much shorter and thinner than what I expected from seeing the first pics you took, but the color is amazing.

I have been looking for arrowheads for over twenty five + years. But any arrowhead is a welcome addition to a collection. The next one on my list is to find a the classic Eden with exquisite fine flaking.

Wow! Had to be worth the wait! And on a mole hill! It was fitting and proper that a digger's animal totem was responsible for putting it there for you to find...
