Couple better pictures of base
 

Im thinking Copena but you know me I cant say for sure. Its a nice one.
 

I'm still debating lol too many different point types that shape haha
 

Maybe one of the TN guys will stop in and tell us what it is. I never find anything in that shape that's whole.
 

An awesome find, that's what!
 

Checkout Frazier and see if the base fits.
 

I did a search for your region and it looks like it may be a Mississippian lanceolate, possibly a ''Dallas'', ''Guntherville'' or ''Ichetucknee''. You may want to better research it, just trying to help even though not from your area. Awesome find! :icon_thumright:
 

My first thought was Stanfield. Depends on where you're located.
 

Thanks guys it is very twisted so that's got me stumped
 

Yes it's local I'm gonna say ft Payne
 

I was thinking the same but it's the first I've found or even held for tgat matter
 

I' love 'em , cause they're so old. Right on that Early Archaic/Paleo time line
They tend to pretty worn out when you do come across them. That's the name of my screen shaker, "Ms. Agate" as it was the first point I found on her.
Lone Star
 

That's a nice story I thank you for your help as well
 

nice one painter,i think it looks like a guntersville.but if the sides are ground........

Painter - I have found similar points in your region and they're a bit of a stumper for me. I believe they're an early archaic point. I don't think they're a Stanfield proper but possible related. I entertained the idea of Agate Basin but that doesn't fit for a couple of reasons. I also thought about a Tennessee River knife (see Red Tully's books) but I think what you have is earlier. That's a great example and that Olive / Purple seems to be a common material for the type. I'm sorry I can't provide anything concrete, only I've searched the same search and haven't typed it quite yet.

Nice find my friend.
 

Thanks for your response you just answered a few of my questions ;)
