Default projectile point
Hello

Without really inspecting the point it is tough to ID exactly, but it appears that you have a Guilford Round/Straight base point. The point certainly looks to be leaf shape about medium in size. The approximate age would be 6500 -5000 BP (Before present). Again, without really checking the point out in person, I am left to provide a "educated guess." I hope this helps.

Sweet 1/2 reale! Cut in half it would have been worth 3 1/4 cents at the time. The T. H. Assayers mark would place the date between 1803 - 1813. Congrats on that old spanish silver!!!!

Super point! It's been about 18 years since I have come upon one without a chip or break.
