Type of arrowhead?

[collector01]

Went back out today at the river but only got a few pieces of pottery. Nickel size and some flint. I'll keep going to I find a arrowhead. I was putting away my finds and came across this point I found several years ago on a beach. I was just wondering if someone knew the type. Thanks.

Hello there, I believe that would be a "Fox Creek", or "Steubenville" type point. Around our area they are usually made by percussion flaking, with little or no pressure flaking, and they are usually made of rhyolite or argillite materials, as yours appears to be. They are thought to be roughly 1500 to 2000 years old. That is a nice example, the ones I come across are usually broken.
PS. I like the brown corner notched point visible in your background. HH

Thanks! The corner notch my grandmother found back in the 50s along with the pipe and indian head penny below it. She gave it to me the year before she passed. She's one of the biggest reasons I got into this hobby. Thanks again for ID

The pipe was made in Mogadore Ohio.

Clay Trade Pipes

"The Akron Smoking Pipe Company operated in Mogadore, Summit County, Ohio from 1885 to 1895. It also had branch factories in Point Pleasant, Ohio and Hampton, Virginia as late as 1908. These are reed stemmed pipes. The maker's marks for American made pipes of this type are generally in the bottom of the bowl."

I lived in Mogadore in the late 1960s and dug several thousand pipes out of the local dumps. When we moved to North Carolina in 71, I brought over 5,000 pipes with me. That was not the most common type but still fairly common.

Wow and I'm happy with finding several.
