Beautiful day for an overhang find. Knife maybe??

[WYO_Yote]

Found in SE Wyoming along a creek. I've never found a point quite like this.

Any suggestion on what it could be?

Love that spring is just around the corner!!!!!

Beautiful find. Add a handle and I could picture it used as a knife.

Beautiful point. Not sure what it was used for. Maybe a spear as someone else said.

Nice finds, congrats

 

[DiggerKid2003]

That's an awesome looking point but I have no clue what type it is.

 

[Digger RJ]

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!

 

[CRUSADER]

Spear is my guess.

 

[ToddsPoint]

I believe that's called a Hell Gap spear point. And a very nice one at that. Gary

That was my first thought too, and a very well-developed example at that. And I'm going one more step with banner on this great find.

I don't know much about native American relics but that looks like a really nice one and does not look like a very common style of tool either. Nice work!

 

[GaRebel1861]

Very nice point! Post it in the Native American Indian Artifacts forum. You will likely hear a lot about it there as well.

 

[TimberCrack]

Looks like a Dandy HellGap point to me...definitely Paleo...Congrats!!!

Banner Hell Gap point!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did some work at the Powers II Clovis site in Guernsey, WY, not far from the Hell Gap Site. That could be a very important find. Dr. Surovell at the University of Wyoming might be interested to see it. Do you mind if I share your pictures with Dr. RM Gramly? He'd love to see it as well.

 

[Sidevalve45]

What an awesome find. Looks like it was made and promptly lost or forgotten. Perfect condition. Good for you!

That is a beautiful piece of Native American workmanship, and from what I see in the previous replies it is a great example the Hell Gap point type.
Based on this I feel it is a Banner find and I will vote accordingly!
