I got out to an old farm today, freshly turned. Surface find, I thought it was a spoon handle tip. I'm in central New Jersey and would like info on material, age, and type if possible. It shows black and a little greenish. Thank you for your info.

It looks like a broke off base to a arrowhead. Can’t help on the type tho. Cool find!

... neat piece, the other part is there to be found. You better check that spot a little more frequently now. Make a few pics of it in your hand in natural sunlight plz.

It's a hafted bifacial endscraper. Woodland era, and made of Normanskill/Coxsackie chert from eastern New York. Pretty artifact.

Is it unifacial and steeply beveled on the business end? May be a hafted scraper.

It is exactly as you describe it, thank you.
