Congratulations!
A great holiday point.
 

Well done, to me first impression it’s a knife and may have had a spokeshave on the blade.
 

I certainly thought I was never going to find one. Well...today was the day! Let me know if there are any identification details you can share. Found is SE Michigan:
nice find thanks for sharing
 

Banged up.

But if I were to guess, I'd say it's possibly a Jack's Reef Corner Notched. The length may argue against it though.

Hopefully, a SE Michigan collector will jump in with a suggestion.

My guess at this point was Hopewell but that covers a pretty large region. Hopefully there are some Michigan experts to chime in. Jack's Reef Corner Notched certainly looks spot on when I review pictures of them....'Intrusive Mound' seems to refine the Jack's Reef Corner Notched area where found.....
