Looks like a broken blade or preform cant tell ya what time period.Nice find...
 
That is not a Spearhead. It looks to me to be a Knife Blade with a Spokeshave worked into one end of it.
 
The whitish patinazation is the original surface. The flakes showing the brown interior are recent removals. Maybe plough damage but more likely somebody boogered with it.

My opinion -- worth what it's costing you.

I agree with uni its old and then been reworked. Maybe even reworked a couple hundred years ago?
 
Looks like a blade or preform to me. The chips are not ancient.
It's difficult to see the flaking, could be Woodland or Archaic.
Still a keeper,congrats.

Imo it looks like a possible adena that got plowed a few times, that's some patina.
 
Looks to be a material that was originally on the chert. Nice item.
