Took a motorcycle ride and got off to take a break by a creek. Five minutes later had the blade. Looked awhile longer nothing. I decided the next day to take my creek shoes and stick, not much but this uniface tool. I was thinking it could be a really old one with the flute.... the blade is 4" and the uniface is 2 5/8" long. Your advice is greatly appreciated!!

Cool finds! The unifacial tool would be hard to pinpoint because tools like that were used through all periods in ancient America. The "flute" is more likely just a basal thinning or a nice big percussion flake as opposed to a true flute like what is seen on Paleo knives/projectiles. The bigger blade is also another hard to type item as triangular blades/pre forms are among the most common artifact found and were made through most all periods. Some types to look at would be Cobbs if beveled, Stanfield, Tennessee river... Thanks for sharing!Josh (Ky/Tn collector)

I am not sure but I think you can buy an overstreet i.d. book on this site. It is a wonderful way too learn. The large piece at first glance that has indented base made me think haw river. Identifying points from pics can be tough and not all are cookie cutter.
