Gregg, I live in South Ga. I have some points that look like that one. It most like is by Creek Indians or Seminole (sp).
Notice the notch on the upper right side.....many Indians would notch their work I was told. Nice find. There are more where that came from. Look forward to seeing your finds. After those two days of rain last week you may get lucky.

Greg...pottery is a great indicator of the age of the site, even though the pieces are small the material used to temper them can help age the site. Pottery that is tempered or mixed with small crushed rock or grit is usually older than that tempered with clam or mussel shells. Crush up one of the smaller pieces and see what it`s made from. The point looks like an Adena Robbins but there are many stemmed varieties that are similar like Alachua in your area. Just guessing but I bet the pottery is grit tempered.
