I’m hoping this is an arrowhead or scraper of some kind. One side is flat or even a little concave while the other is a more rounded and comes down to a sharp edge one one side. The other edge is flat. I found it by the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta, Ga. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

just looks like a rock to me . I don't see any man made shaping to it.keep looking , it took me years to find a native American site but I have now found 13 points and half a dozen suspected samples and hundreds of quarts knapping flakes. you'll know the real deal when you find it . good luck and welcome to the site..

Welcome to TreasureNet, sorry, no signs in pictures of being worked on by man.

We often call those geofacts. It definitely has the shape of a point, but, as Suemon said, there is no evidence of it having been worked by a person. Good eye though! If you have the time, visit a local museum and look at some points / tools made from local source material. A lot of times (especially when field walking) you will spot the material before the shape. Welcome.

It’s a natural rock. However, don’t let that stop you from looking. There’s still a lot of artifacts waiting to be found out there. Stay safe & good luck!

I agree with others.
The stone has a crystalline appearance,
and is a laminate, so would not flake controllabley,
but would massively spall-off when clobbered...!
Look for chert, basalt, obsidian varieties, flint, stuff that is glassy, fine grained.
Keep looking, and enjoy the hunt!
