Lot of creek wear and patina. Not having the base and judging by the thickness my guess it is a knife or tool. Imagine a true spear point as thin for penetration. You might try the American Indian artifact section here on t-net for a better assessment.
Nice find and great pictures. Welcome to Treasure Net :hello:

Nice. If I found it I would be calling it a broken knife...and I have a ton just like it. Keep looking!

Very nice piece you have there and a nice area to search. I agree it looks like a knife or a tool of some sort.

Thanks everyone! It's a lovely creek, with some nice rocky areas. :icon_profileleft: I can post some more pics.
Could it be a piece of a Guilford knife? We are in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Thx
