Found this arrowhead on the gulf coast of the Florida panhandle. Can anyone help ID?

Found this on a beach on the Florida panhandle. It's about the length of two quarters. My first guess is that it's an Adena point but I have no clue. Can anyone help identify and date this arrowhead?

Congrats on your find. The Florida guys should chime in soon to help with an ID...

Nice find and material. Where in the panhandle? I was born in Ft. Walton Beach. It could be a worked out worn down Marion, Newnan, or similar stemmed point. Cypress Creek came to mind when I first saw it too. Panhandle stuff can come from all over, Ala. Ga. & Florida. Welcome & thanks for sharing.

I found it in the Panacea area. Any idea how old this could be?

Nice looking Point. Not an Adena though.

Any clue what it is?

Looks like a Marion

That looks like it could be it thanks! and wow those things can be pretty old if projectile points dot net is correct. This is my first arrowhead find so im pretty excited about it.

Im new to this so I cant quite see the differences. Can you explain the differences between the two?

I'd go with Putnam too.

 

[H.P.]

The Putnam has a more narrow elongated tang, whereas the Marion’s is more squarish...Can’t always go by the points in projectile points ,com...many belong in other categories...it can be a subtle difference..Doesn’t matter, they’re all Archaic stemmed...

Don't feel bad Toyota, I'm terrible at typing them too. I agree with Hal they're archaic stemmed.

Yeah the point is a little worn out pretty from use and that also makes typing difficult. Putnam is a good call. I use to fish the beach at Panacea when I lived in Tallahassee. Pretty area. Lots of artifacts in that part of Florida.
