Sublet Ferry point?

[hbrown22]

Decided to take a quick kayak trip down the creek and found this on the gravel bar. Sublet Ferry is the closet thing I could find in the Overstreet guide. Measures 2 1/8" length, 3/4" width and it's pretty thin. We found a bunch more goodies, but I'm not feeling to well and don't feel like cleaning them right now. I'll try to take pix of it tomorrow and better ones of this.

Wow. That thing is perfect. All I found today was two little flakes. Good find.

Im not good with the I D of points but Ill try and probably wrong. Big Sandy

It's probably the most perfect one we've found so far. I'll have to look at the Big Sandy again. I'm not great with identifying, the difference in many of them is so subtle and I don't have the eye for it yet.

Well the flaking on the first pic says Woodland but the second pic says earlier from what I see. So it is confusing me as to which period it is from. Woodland is scattered flaking where archaic is usually long strikes and a little scattered flaking.
It is a really nice looking point. Who found it you or your husband or did you 2 wrestle for it?

Beautiful point! I'd say Big Sandy also or possibly a Brewerton side notched or Brewerton eared...That dark lithic is awesome!

Very nice!

All close guesses early archaic transitional it is either a big sandy , or a green briar after a closer look at the notches I believe rock is right big sandy

We both saw it, he was faster! It was funny because we pulled the kayaks up so we could look around. We took a few steps then looked at each other, both had a disbelief look on our face, so I knew he saw it too. He went to grab it but I yelled take a pic. That's why it's a little darker near the base in the in situ pick, water dropped on it. Everything has that uniform grey or clay red color on it, depending where we are in the creek.

According to artifact hunting rules it is allowed to push, trip or even trick them so you can be the first one to touch it to claim it as yours.

Haha, I'll remember that! Your getting our rain now. We are getting ready to head out and see what goodies we can find

Yes we are but its not a down pour just kinda a drizzle. I hope the fields got turned before the rain. Good luck on your hunt. The creek water will be dirty but maybe the rain washed off some of those pesty leaves. Our leaves turn black the same color as the points.
