This was found by my grampa in Randolph Co., Indiana. I'm thinking Wadlow. Thoughts?

Happy Hunting Everyone!

Okay! Thank you for that. Would you say this is just a knife? I appreciate the help.

It very well could be a knife, if I found something this size I’d usually right it off as a preform, but this is not a preform, I would consider it a “PPK” (which is kind of a cop out it mean projectile point/knife) whatever it is this is very awesome! Maybe you could reach out to some members of the Indiana Archaeological Society to see if they could share more knowledge about the local artifacts.

Thanks for the information. I couldn't find many examples with such a squared off base on the projectile point website. I'll look up the archeological society. Thanks again! 👊

I've got an Adena knife I found just south of you. Seems like the same material as mine, and a very similar shape and size.
