Central Virginia find, any identification?

[DiggerKid2003]

On Friday after some heavy rain me and my grandfather hit our trails for a bit. Immediately he found this. Usually I wouldn’t worry about identifying but since this is one of the nicer point we’ve ever found, my curiosity is peaked. Here in Central Virginia, 95% of the points we find are crude quartz, and small. Probably average around an inch in length. This one is right under 3 inches. After checking the projectilepoints.net website, I was unable to say for sure what type it was, any help would be much appreciated.

Each state could be a different name but here I would say Hopewell by the base stem showing it being roundish.

Nice one.

Nice one.

I looked it up and there is many stemmed points in this area but I couldn’t pin point the type 100%.

That’s what I found aswell, can’t say exactly for sure. Thanks for trying though, probably no way of saying 100% what type it is

Maybe share some other types from the area. Might be the same time period

Tough call. Closest I can come would be a Calvert but not sure.

IMO, it does have a similar shape to Calvert, however because of the slightly expanding, round base, it sure looks like the Hopewell points found in Ohio.

very nice point

Thank you all! It looks very similar to many hopewells, so for now I’m going to call it that

Very cool you got out with your grandpa and found such a nice piece! What a great memory. Thanks for sharing.

Look at Table Rock if you have them.

Look similar but don’t believe we have that type here
