^ ^ ^ ^ That thing could make a nasty cut yet today.
Geez that's wicked. The base looks snapped off, so it makes it a little tougher. I'll throw out maybe a neuberger.Any ideas on identification for this one? Found it on my job site not too long ago.

Bows, it could! The edge serration detail is incredible.Geez that's wicked. The base looks snapped off, so it makes it a little tougher. I'll throw out maybe a neuberger.
Its been worked H2O, the rounded corner could have been used as a scraper.
Like I said... I don't generally know what I'm talking about so I'm glad others are here to chime in!Its been worked H2O, the rounded corner could have been used as a scraper.
That kind of looks like it was either an effigy or was re-worked.Picked up a broken piece a couple wks ago. Not enough to go on. Really nice workmanship and thin like a playing card.

I don't think that's quite how it worked. They've often been named after a modern day village or even a farm name where a decent sized cluster has been found. A lot of smart people disagree on a lot of this. I think most of the cool points that we all find and marvel over were used as knives. Obviously some of the early stuff was probably a spear point and then some tiny arrow tips came much more recently. I've read about some theories that certain amazing points including hardins and dovetails might've come from more an isolated "factory" scenario. Dovetails are legendary and somewhat broad ranging, but as far as I know there haven't really been many sites found. In OH they're usually made from the best sources, and very similar in design. As the range spreads out, they developed different styles. But flaking is still very consistent. I've heard some say Cobbs were the preform for them, and they mightve been sold and distributed. Same with Hardins. Heard the factory for that style knife spanned for generations. Very hard for knappers to fake them and make them.Considering how many broadheads I've tried, I have a hard time believing that certain tribes only make one exact type of head that identifies them. If so, future archeologists will have a fit when they uncover my basement
Great finds!Chris found a nice arrow tips today, and i found a broken something.
