Good eyeball find! Not many would take a second look if most of it was covered by dirt!

Its about an inch and a half long and 3/4 of an inch wide at the widest spot.

could be a lamoka, most likely a knife blade though.

Lamoka would be the type of point, I wouldnt call it an orient, orients are more finely made and thinner. I dont know if the overstreet books are still produced but those do gove a pretty good description of what to look for when typing points.

Thanks. I'll have to try to find a overstreet book and look it up. Thanks again.
