Can anyone help me with this find from my childhood?

Arrowhead?

Sorry, it's a video. The edges are so smooth (hoping someone will tell me they're *dull*) that you have to see the light play off of it from a lot of angles to see what's going on, and this still isn't great. I found it on a lake shoreline in N Wisconsin on some property where my grandparents had a cabin, so it would be meaningful if it actually is something. Don't worry about letting me down though. Thanks!

Looks natural to me no signs altered by man. Edge shouldn't be smooth. Keep looking! Welcome to the site!

Thanks for the reply. That's too bad...thought maybe the top and left slope showed signs of flaking. The bottom edge is actually somewhat sharp. Oh well.

Not sure how much more looking I'll do, I already found this one twice.

The video is dark what I think you are thinking is flaking looks like a natural fracture to me. Might want to post pictures with better lighting - but from what I see its natural.

Yes I'm sure you're right.

Yeah, def post pics of all angles if possible. Very hard to confirm with the video. I would say it's Natural Rock.

IMHO it's natural, not an artifact.

The left slope is making me wonder if it might be a uniface scraper or something. There's nothing like flaking on the other side so maybe it was opportunistic? It seems like there's a possibility the bottom left edge has a little serrating or wear that's been smoothed down by the water but it's probably all just wishful thinking.

If it reminds you of your youth ,save that piece for sure.
Awful small to use for long as a tool , and does not shout being hand worked.
That opinion is only a two center though ,anything could have been used once almost.
I have seen a ground ,not flaked piece from N.E. of you. No mistaking its purpose ,or being made by a human, (just to suggest not all lithics were flaked.)

I call them Dangits cause they look like something good but are natural.

I see the area your talking about on the bottom left. It's still a little hard to see in the pictures but I would say it's a natural fracture on that part of rock.
On the other hand, if it brings back memories of a certain time in your life that was meaningful I would keep it!

Thanks everyone. Nah, it was just gonna be very cool because of associations with where I found it. I used to fish in that lake with my grandpa all the time.
