Hi everybody! I found the below item today and am not sure what it is. I'm new to this ~ inspired by Creek Walker and other helpful members on this forum. I've included pictures of the site as well. Thank you kindly,
Caroline

Lot of creek wear and patina. Not having the base and judging by the thickness my guess it is a knife or tool. Imagine a true spear point as thin for penetration. You might try the American Indian artifact section here on t-net for a better assessment.
Nice find and great pictures. Welcome to Treasure Net :hello:

Nice post and find! HH, Mike
 
Is it sharper on one side? because it looks from the pic like a Scraper or stripping tool. Creekwalker is awesome isn't he! anyway Welcome and HH always :hello2:
 
Nice. If I found it I would be calling it a broken knife...and I have a ton just like it. Keep looking!
 
Very nice piece you have there and a nice area to search. I agree it looks like a knife or a tool of some sort.
 
Thanks everyone! It's a lovely creek, with some nice rocky areas. :icon_profileleft: I can post some more pics.
Could it be a piece of a Guilford knife? We are in the Piedmont of North Carolina. Thx
