Found this incredible Gem... and now I'm trying to ID it. I've looked at "Washington Projectile Points (Arrowheads) by shape", on http://www.projectilepoints.net as well as a couple of books. I'm not able to do a match - maybe I'm trying to be too exact (?) To my limited expertise, it appears that it was expertly crafted, then the tip was later resharpened by someone less exact, or in a hurry.
It has been flaked on all surfaces. It's a liittle over 2" long, by 1 1/4" wide - a monster compared to what I've found before. There is the beginnings of a white patina on the ridges of some of the flake scars. I found it way up high on the bank where only rare storms can move gravel at very high tides, which accounts for it being in such great shape for a tidal beach find.
