Nice Indian Artifact

I posted on the main forum but thought I'd share here, also. Went surface hunting in a farm field that had been recently disked and after a hard rain. Found this beauty laying on the surface. Probably the best one I've ever found. The quarters are for size reference only.

Great looking find. Looks to be a Woodland type and probably Hopewell related.

I'm not that knowledgeable on this subject, so what do you mean Hopewell related?

Here's a link on the Hopewell Culture. A lot of their Point styles had these large sweeping notches.
