It appears to be an archaic period knife. The Indian had a preference for one side as shown by the difference in the the resharpening of the edges. It's a good find but common and would not have a lot of value. I'd guess less than $10. But I'm basing all of this on the perspective of my part of the country (deep south).

It is a crude point with damage but, an arrowhead non the less. Not much value if any. Just enjoy it for what it is and go find some more! Congrats.

It is a crude point with damage....

FWIW and just my two cents....but I don't see the damage?? The tip appears to have become rounded as part of the extensive resharpening. Just looks like a complete nearly, but not quite, used up knife.
