I was sure it was a leaf.

I figured this deserved a post. I was out detecting in a big field a couple days ago and walked up on this. It was laying on top and totally exposed. I live in west central Indiana. This was found about a mile into Illinois to give you an idea. I like the edges with the sawtooth look! I'm knew to trying to identify points by type. I thought it was similar to a Stillwell. I grew up hunting points so I was stoked! Cheers!

Nice point. I believe you nailed it with Stilwell...

Very nice find. I like the serrations.

That's a real beauty, one of the best I've seen.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm planning another trip over there to look for more.

I've not seen serrations like that before. They would create a bad wound, I expect. Probably a lot of extra work to make them. I'd be stoked too!

The same thing I thought. I can think of a couple possible reasons for the serrations. To make it more effective in combat or hunting. Or it would make an awesome fish scaler on a small handle! I was thinking of the knife that was found with Otzi the iceman. If only we could ask them why they made them that way.

They actually had saws. It’s probably a knife

That seems to fit.

To repeat what the others have said, it’s a beauty, great find, good thing you didn’t pass it by thinking it was a leaf.

Thanks! I always make sure. lol

Here the leaves turn black in the creeks just like the points.

That’s exceptional

Yes... What he said!

Where is here? The only reason I ask is, I used to live in the deep south, "central Florida" where the tanic acid gives the water a black look in alot of the creeks. Sounds like the south. lol

That's a real beauty, congrats!

That’s not only a Stilwell but it’s also made of Indiana green. Source near Attica. Very desirable material to collectors from that area. Congrats on a nice find!
