Thanks everyone. I can see a Kanawha resemblance now that I am looking at the samples. I guess whats throwing me off is (A.) I'm an amatuer and (B.) On my point, the stem is straight as it extends down for a bit, then expands into bifurcated lobes. In other words has an extended bifurcating base. Most of the Kanawha have the small bifurcated base just immediately coming down without a stem. Now that I'm looking... Nansemond looks and is described exactly as this point. The stem extends down before expanding into bifurcated lobes. The shoulders do have a slight upward angle. Anyone else have input? Thanks! I also notice that cell phone pics don't represent its true dimensions. And I cant get the images to face up and down...2 Photos

Yeah, I stick to the western shore of the lower Chesapeake. Many of the Bay's tributaries empty within my county-- the York, Piankatank & Rappahannock-- all good Indian names for a reason. Nearby is an offshore paleo channel that throws artifacts up on the beach during a good blow.
All the farmland here is no-till so I don't bother. Another place to look is NC's Outer Banks. Off-season with winds mostly out of the N & NE you can find artifacts washed up that are quite amazing considering the environment they've been sloshing around in.Child of the tides
