That’s a nice find. Sorry can’t help with the age.
 

Not as familiar with your area, but I would guess it to be a mid to late archaic dart point. Nice find.
 

It was made in 1756 by Chief Joseph Brandt, he was very educated and would demonstrate his ability to make arrow heads. The actual flint its made from 5 million year old flint sediment, fractured by the upheaval of the Appalachian mountains, it specifically came from flint ridge in Ohio, the Wyandot's or Miami Indians traded it and 10 others to Brandt for a silver bracelet. Couldn't help myself..haha..beautiful arrowhead, great find.
 

Looks like quartz but I’m no expert. I have found similar points that appear to be made of quartz in local farm fields while detecting. They catch your eye right away.
 

It is a quartz mid to late archaic point, I forget the age but I think these are 2-4k years old. It's a corner notched point.
