Unfinished bottleneck arrowhead

[Chris Thompson]

Found this week in Vinton County Ohio made of zaleski flint. This head measures 3 inches long and is very thick which is why i think it is unfinished.Here is link to youtube vid of the find. https://www.youtube.com/user/shapeshifternwo .thanks

Welcome aboard Chris. Glad to have you with us.

That at piece shows polish along the faces on both sides so it has been used and not just a Preform. Could be a crude Knife. Also, not real sure that is Zaleski Flint. Zaleski is a very shiny and waxy material. That looks more like Kanawha to me.

The other side is shiny i should have taken a pic of it. The creek has put a heavy patina on it giving it a dull look but Zaleski is prominent in my area. But thanks for having me and thanks for ur input.

Thanks, it is probably going to be the last find for the year for me with the leaves falling.

It looks a lot like the stuff we find down here in Southwest Georgia in the Flint River. I'm glad to hear that it's finally cooling off somewhere. It's still in the mid 90s here in the deep south.

Sorry u are still dealing with the heat. We have been dealing with rain this month so it is hard to hit the creeks. BTW that pipe u found is a stone cold stunner..congrats
