I can’t tell if what I found is an arrowhead.

I found a decently sharp rock a while ago, and I’d like some help figuring out if this is an arrowhead or some other artifact, here is some information on it:
It was found on a river in Charles City, Virginia,
and here is the picture. Thank you for your time!

yes it is but what Gary will n here

[rock ON.]

Sure looks like you found an arrowhead. The experts on here should be able to confirm it and help you to ID it.

Hey Dakota, That is a beautiful triangle point. A closeup in natural daylight would be nice.

Thanks for all the responses guys! I’ll definitely get a picture in daylight when I can, I’m not sure if the sunlight will come through much tomorrow with Florence coming in, but I’ll watch for it!

Welcome to the forum, Dakoda, we are glad to have ya and hope you stick around! That is a great find there! It is not an arrowhead in my opinion but it is a projectile point. It would have been attached to the tip of a long stick called an atlatl dart and thrown with a simple device called an atlatl. If I had to put a type name to it, I would probably call it an Almance or maybe even a small Dalton.

Hi and congratulations on a nice find! Look up Clements projectile point.

Nice point Dakoda

Thanks again for all the responses, I did get a picture in sunlight as well.

Hey Dakoda, Deb here in Gloucester,VA. You’ve found a beauty there! I would lean towards Dalton it possibly an Alamance, which would be late paleo. Hard to see all the features to identify it positively. Looks too chunky to be a Yadkin & Uwharrie tends to be thin. This looks thickish.
