Found my first arrowhead ever in Derby, Indiana on my wife’s family’s property along the Ohio river! It was hot Wednesday and the ticks are bad! But still was worth the day.

Well done looks like it could be truly old. I’m not sure about your area but I’d suggest cleaning it a bit and maybe taking some low light pics and posting them down in the North American artifacts forum
 
They must be great finds. Here in Oz I hope to find ancient, old Aboriginal artifacts. Myself, have not found 1.
But, my, our cherished find, my wife did find one.
Nuts story.
We lived in a tiny tiny town in Victoria for several years called Tarnagulla.
We had a fantastic friend who was an Aboriginal Alex. I went detecting with him and we found gold, we went fishing, yabbying (crawfish) we had bbqs the lot. Great great friend. We were all very tight as you guys say. One day im out detecting, and my misses goes for a bush walk with Alex as we and she did often. My misses apparently looked down as Alex is showing her the area and says "Alex, what's this!?" And picks up a stone.
It was/is an Aboriginal crushing stone. Maybe for seeds or similar maybe for stone grinding for colours. He said yes, its from us. Some dont, Aboriginal like anyone taking them. But he was happy for my misses, us, to have it. He said " why nobody have it and stay hidden, have it and keep it'
We very much cherish it. Alex is gone now. He was a gun gold nugget prospector I can tell you and put me on some great spots. And did we ever have some awesome BBQs at his place. Alex Camp from Tarnagulla Victoria Australia. Best mate and friend iv ever had 👍👍👍👍
that crushing stone is awesome, love to see it full of nuggets ;)
 
That is a nice one. Love the material.
