I don't think I have posted this.

I found this thebes close by the house a while back on a day I found a number of cobbs.
I almost missed the point as only a small edge was visible to me. on the underside not much dirt as it was on a dirt clod, which is interesting. if it was the other way around, a lot of the point would have been visible.

it's made of Ohio Coshocton flint and has a tip ding

Is that a Thebes? Im not familiar with poihtscl up there but I thought Thebes to be side notched. Any clean pics?
 

Nice big point. Anything with ears like that in my area is a rare find. Idk types from your area but it’s definitely a good one
 

Definitely got that look of points in that time period, Thebes lost lake Kirk whatever, I like it, great find.
 

I would like to see that cleaned up also. Coshocton or Ft Payne? I’m on the fence.
 

Looks like FortPayne kinda blue. Good looking point
 

Nice pull. Killer Serrations only on one side. Hmmm.
 

Nice Thebes Corner Notch! was a bigun' back in the day, they didn't let those go until only a nub was left...always heavily beveled on opposing sides.
Could be Coshocton, but more pitted than the material I usually find, which is alot.
