Found a nice piece today can anyone help Id and value it?

[traderoftreasures]

Started out this afternoon taking out the ol' detector. Went up on the old hill that I found a lot of 1860's items, and nothing but a bunch of cold wind and still a little snow. So I decided to go to the creek nearby that I had found a double fluted Clovis, a few years back. Well I walked the old cold creek and only found these few bottles and decided to give er' up. I worked my way back up the ol' flooded creek and just before i got out BAM...there it was this beauty.
Can anyone tell me what it's called it's age or value... thanks

the flaking on it looks archaic

It's a hafted scraper, isn't it? VERY nice

I thought archaic. I found a very large flat scrapper made from same material it was broken and very thin but still 9 inches. And a 3 and 3/4 inch double fluted clovis all in this same area. I have also found a few later woodland era pieces as well an a archaic drill bit?

Though it doesn't have the classic basal style of one, it kind of looks like a Table Rock Point to me.

I have to agree with SRV, it does somewhat have the look of a tablerock. They are fairly common in Central Illinois.

ever hear of a "scherchel"? from a book by Lar Hothem "indian flints of ohio"... yours looks well made and a scherchel is considered roughly made and crude in appearance.

Lar was good at making up names for points, God rest his soul. He was a great guy, but some of his point types are a little obscure. And also, like you said, the Scherchel type is a really crude Archaic Stemmed Point type and this one is far from being crudely made so that's why I suggested a Table Rock.

Here is another shot for thickness.

SRV... I've kinda noticed that Lars named quite a few pieces that we know as other types.

im going to say table rock also. i have one i think but it is not as thick. mine is really worn down. nice find !!!!!

It looks like a Tablerock type, which is similar to a Motley. Folks in different parts of the country have different names for somewhat similar related type of points. When I was living in Missouri, I used to find the tablerock variety often, also in Indiana they are found too.
