Hello Iām new to... Iām no expert at all but it looks to me like Flint spear or arrowhead... but like I said Iām no expert... hopefully someone that knows more than me will come along and be of more help
1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard. You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).
2nd - While waiting - here are few informative articles talking about Indian Arrowhead Identification...
Thank you! I found it on the edge of a lake in the sand. Iāll post pictures of the other side soon. Any idea what time period it is? Iām almost positive itās made of agate.
Is there any grinding on the base? In other words, do the sides up near the base feel smoother than the lower blade edge? If so it's probably a Late Paleo/Early Archaic type. It's definitely a great looking Point. Congrats on the killer find!
You will certainly become addictive to this past-time of hunting for artifacts. As to your point, it is beautiful point and looks like a clear agate or quartz. Due to it's nice workmanship it looks to be a ''Transitional Paleo'' or an ''Early Archaic'' Good luck in the future hunting.
Thank you for all the input guys! Itās much appreciated. Iām new at this so the identification charts Iāve found online can be a little tricky. It seems like there are very subtle differences that I havenāt developed an eye for yet.
And yes Digger.... since finding my first point, a surface find that I picked up while hiking initially not realizing what it was, Iāve certainly become addicted and have spent most of my free time hunting. Weāve recently come across what seems to be a serious hotspot with evidence of many generations of Native American presence. Here are some other finds from the same spot as the first point I posted.
