First find of 2010

[MarkDz]

Hi all... I've been cooped up most of the winter but have been enjoying your finds very much.

Finally got out on Sunday for a beautiful day hunting. I went to my trusty Rev War site to metal detect. I'd never found a decent Indian artifact there, but lo and behold, while I'm down digging something (probably a can tab ), I see the corner of a point looking up at me from between some pebbles.

After a bit of research I think it's a late Archaic/early Woodland Orient Fishtail or Susquehanna Broadpoint type. It's no beauty by the standards here but I like it!
Looking forward to a fun year...

Check out this website I found it to be a big help in identifying points. www.projectilepoints.net

Congrats on your find, hope you can get out and get a few more.

Nice one...I'd have to agree with you on Susq. Broadpoint.

Thanks guys!
Jonzer, I wish it was obsidian... it's really just a black slate.
Rain and high water again. No good river hunting this weekend. Maybe next!
