Good one too............
Looks about like a first stage Abbey. Narrow base though...

I agree it is an Abbey.

Newnan was my first thought, but I won't argue...
Got a good patina on it. 3.5" long is a pretty big point for an atlatl, unless you are punching through an exceptionally large beast?
Pretty point, I'd love to have found it, congrats!

That is a great find, regardless of what handle you hang on it! Based on the location where it was found, I'd call it probably an Alachua, as it is pretty far outside the normal range of Abbey, Newnan, and Hillsborough types. That mid-archaic stemmed point cluster is pretty confusing , with a lot of variations and intergrades. Your point probably dates back to somewhere around the 5,000 BC-ish time period.
