Nice! I always like it when you find the base because that's what is needed for identification purposes......Mel

One of the friends I hunt artifacts with found BOTH halves of a beautiful orange colored square ended knife. the knife was over 6 inches long and about the same size and shape as a pocket comb except for the length. The 2 halves of the knife were found on 2 different camps.
FIVE (5) miles apart !

that's more than likely a knife instead of a spear tip

Very nice find - even with the tip broken. Looks to be either a Dalton or a lobed base MacCorkle - it's hard to tell with the wear- both from the late paleo era. It would have had an extremely serrated edging at one time and been used as a blade.
