Nice point. Unfortunately not a Clovis though. You can see where the stem/base is broken off.
 

Not a clovis looks like a snapped stemmed kirk

Either way a point I'd be just fine with! Good eyes.

Yup it is broken! :(
How old?
 

Man, if that thing could TALK. Guess that one wasn't incased in nutshell/concretion/oxide, huh?!
 

It's Lenape indian spear point.
They lived in the area back then. Thinking 1600- early 1700?

It's an extremely well made point! Most likely made during the peak of the Archaic period, between 9000 and 6000 BP. Later points weren't as well made such as during the transitional cultures of the Woodland times. Where there's 1 there should be more.
