      Not sure on the first one, is the base ground? Second one looks like a Thebes. Nice finds!

        Top one looks like woodland corner notch. Bottom looks like early archaic corner notch possibly lost lake, or Thebes perhaps.

          Yes base is ground on first one. I was thinking the second one was a Thebes wasn't sure tho its left side beveled.

            Second one may be a small Dovetail.

                Is it weird that on the second one that its beveled on the left side but seems more serrated on the right side?

                  Also found this blade/scraper yesterday idk check it out the bottom side has about a quarter inch taken off from the tip to the middle of the piece. Any ideas welcome on what it is.

                    Wow just noticed this after posting the blade/scraper I believe it was hafted there are indentions on each side of the top right where the bottom dips in the quarter inch.

                      JMHO, but that first point looks like a Kirk corner-notched. The other point resembles a Pine Tree. The scraper is very similar to Type I/Type III hafted end scrapers as described by J. Coe (1964) and R,Daniel(1996). These scrapers are presumed to have been hafted into a hollow handle, such as bone, antler or wood. They are associated with Paleo and early Archaic cultures.
                      Nice finds! Thanks for showing them to us!

                        A couple of nice ones Champ. I think probably Kirk and Lost Lake.

                          I would agree with Truett on the point types. The first one looks like a Kirk and the second appears to be a Pinetree, especially with the little serrations. That's just my opinion though. I've found a few Pinetrees here in KY and the bases can resemble Doves and Kirks, so sometimes they are tough to ID. Nice finds though!
