I picked this up about 50 years ago while hunting for arrowheads with my Boy Scout Troop.
Our Scoutmaster was friends with a farmer that owned a field on Hog Creek in Decatur county.
Found lots of points that day and I found this laying under a rock.
I've hung on to it ever since and found it again going through some of my junk yesterday.
To me, it looks like it may have been worked from a stone that you find in a freshwater drum's head.
It is not rock, but looks to have a shaft and that little barb has a very sharp point.
3/4 inch long and 1/2 inch wide
