Found in PA. Also a few others with it. I think the other long one is a Guilford. Plus some flakes from yesterday.

Doesn't really look like a usual one, but it's hard to tell in your pictures -- Upper Delaware Black looks like Kanawha in them. (NOT a gripe -- an explanation).
 

Not a kirk but am sure you will get an ID here Smokey. Nice hunt sir!
 

To clarfiy it's dark grey. Found near Towanda, PA. Thanks for the replies. I thought a Kirk stemmed due to the flare going up the sides.
 

I think the "cresap" type point has that bottom flare also. When I started out, there weren't near as many point types as there are now.
 

Yes, the base and sides are ground. Hadn't thought of that. And there is a "flute" or thinning flake on the base going up one side. Here's a pic of the other side. Thanks for all thel replies.ATTACH=CONFIG]1839393[/ATTACH]
