Nice find

Need to know the location (state and county) where you found it so I can look it up. 

Don't give me the exact location or the place will be crawling with hunters!  Just the state and county.

The point looks like a variant of the Sequoyah type. It is a true arrowhead of the Mississipian era (1000 - 600 BP).  I don't recognize the material.

That type of arrowhead was used by many tribes, so it may have been used by Osage Indians.
