Certainly look like a spear point to my eye.....but I'm no expert.

Hopefully someone can give you a positive id and a date range.

Better pictures. Sorry I just realized you can't read numbers on tape. I think last pic you can read it's over three inches long.

That appears to be a variety of Thebes called an E-notch. Not exactly a spear point but it would have been used as a hafted knife. Nice find.

It looks like a Thebes point, which are pretty old. My chart says 9000 to 6000 B.C. Nice find.

That's a beauty and a great find! What State and general area was it found in?

Definitely a Thebes and a pretty nice one. Shame about the piece of base broken off. Where was it found? They are mostly midwest and that type is usually Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky area
