tried to check out my spot today
ended up getting stuck in the mud on the road going into the field
I am glad I got stuck where I did because here is what I found next to the truck about 250 yards from where I wanted to go
I have another point similar but only serrated on one side
I really like this one
I wish I would've had my camera
I don't know what kind of material it is
does anybody know what kind of stone this is?
is it some type of quartzite????

Real cool point! My guess on the material would be silicified sandstone, also called Hixton by some. Maybe heat-reated which would explain the wicked color pattern, and put it in the Mississippian period, jmo! Thanks for the post bud!

Too far from you for a full-value two cents-worth, so a one cent-worth opinion : looks too fine-grained for Hixton, and not glossy enough. My uninformed guess would be Spanish Diggings Quartzite from out West.

Nice point ! :headbang:
