Please say it's so

I think I finally found my first point today while metal detecting. It was found in Western Ma. Thanks for any input.

You most definitely did.
I like to metal detect alot..but I suggest you go there one day without your detector and focus on eyeballing that type material as well as other "different" or man altered stone.
I bet you find more.

Congrats! I've only found one over the years. Yours is much better.

Yes you did and it is a nice one I might add! Congratulations!

Nice find for your first one

Great artifact save!! You can find the copper stuff with that detector. I MD also. But with rocks you need to make eye contact.......HH. My first artifact the tip was broken. That made me want to find a whole. And then you find more artifacts and it begins. Thanks for the pics.

That is a nice one. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone for your responces. It was an exciting find, and hope to find more in the future. BTW, can anybody ID the type of point this is? Thanks again.

I'd probably guess that to be a Snook Hill or one of the closely related contracting stem points about 3,500 - 4,000 years old.

It was a surface find partially exposed in a field.
