unsual findings ?

Danzn Bar:
Hey Guys,
I'm not a knapper but a friend of mine found these points in a plowed field around Brandenburg Ky.  I have never seen a point with a single bevel like you would put on a trade point.  The point is broke off, I wonder what it would have looked like?

Also, the second point has the edge knapped in a perfect helical form on both edges?

Can you guys provide me any information on these?
Thanks a bunch
DB

Danzn Bar:
More on the second point.....

And is this a preform?

Outbackbob48:
DB, the single bevel supposedly comes from lots of resharpening of point or blade while on a shaft or handle, I have seen this a lot on Thebes style points. Single beveled broadheads  are really nothing new been around for thousands of yrs. :o ;D Your first point looks like a Lost Lake style to me but I am no expert, sure are some nice field finds for sure.

Trapper Rob:
Nice find.

Danzn Bar:
Thanks for the information Bob
Appreciate it,
DBar
