Fluted Paint Rock Valley point?

Hello, I've got a question on a point I.D.? My name is Robert (Ga. Rob) and I have only been into hunting artifacts since April 2011, so I'm still a greenhorn at this but.. A little over a month ago, I found this point that I think maybe a Paint Rock Valley but would love some advice. Here is what I know: It is 1 1/4 inches long and 1 in. wide made of quartz found in N.E. Georgia. Has basel thinning on the (B) side and what looks to be a flute on the (A) side. It is not ground on the base but does have a very small spot on each side at the base that that is flat and smooth that kind of looks ground. These are not on the derect sides but more at an angle. It has some really nice 2nd flaking (beveling) on the opposite side of each face.
If I have missed anything please ask and I will add the info.
Thanks for the time
Ga Rob

Sorry I can't help with the type, but someone will come along that can.

Great little point. Welcome to the addiction.

The Base will have either Multiple fluting,Basal Thinning,or beveled.The Flaking is usually Parallel with fine secondary edge work
