Any ideas about what this type of point was used for?

Very nice find, sleestak! Not sure what the point may have been used for, but hope a forum member can give their expert advice.

Welcome to the forum!

Speaking of sleestaks, watched "Land of the Lost" movie on Saturday. The T-Rex in it rocks!

That could be a projectile.Often times a flat side is a tool.It is close to an awl or a scribe or even a drill.But with that shape it falls into a lot of 'could be ' categories'.One thing for sure,it's an artifact and well done.

Like James said, it could be a tool. I'd like to see a photo of the other side as it might help identify it. Thanks, Rick B

Found a few similar pieces out in California....Mel

The pointed end has a slight hook shape.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
