Finds like this, as I have said, are so exciting. I feared that it would be broken but this time I was lucky again, it was amazing watching the triangular blade and tip emerge from the soil.
I think this might be what is called a Snook Kill projectile point, dating from the late Archaic. It appears to have been made mostly with percussion flaking. I think the material is hornfels. This is among my best finds ever. In a different spot I noticed this:
I was amazed to pick it up and find it to be a "Turkey Tail" point, my first like this. It is very thick and made of rhyolite or felsite. Here are all my finds from the evening, there are a couple of quartz arrowhead fragments, and a nicely made scraper made from a very fine material, also a few clay pipe pieces, from Colonial times.
