I'm calling it a sweet find. Glad the creek didn't beat it up.

Nice one looks perfect. What do you think the material is ? Looks good you have been hammering the finds. You getting any brokes or pottery to go along with them?

I was thinking the same thing...do some flints hold up better in creeks than others? I haven't seen alot of creek finds but the ones I have seen show wear patterns associated with being tumbled and smoothed down by virture of being in the water. On the other hand, this point and the other one the OP posted are likely recent introductions to the creek, that's my guess. Very nice finds to say the least.

Well I can say that my stream and creek finds are in better condition than my river and tidal finds. But there is more finds in the river and tidal than anywhere else. I take what I can get. Would some one please plow!!!'
