The two big points look like Morrow Mountain points and they were before the bow most likely knives.

Some nice finds Grant - the larger blades are probably knives, while the smaller ones were used as dart points..
There's a lot of contracting stem types that range from 1-4" in length.

Morrow Mountain Type II (6,800 - 6,000 B.P. Middle Archaic)

Is a pink arrow head rare? Is there any info on the materials they used to make these tools? Where I was sourced etc

[SurfaceHunter]

Rhyolite, quartzite and quartz is what I'm seeing. Normal for your area. Nice finds

Nice artifacts

[Quartzite Keith]

The two big ones are quartzite Late Archaic Savannah River Variants. In Virginia they are called Cattle Run, or Island Swamp if the the stem is narrower and longer. Essentially the came thing and same time period as Coens-Krispin up north. For whatever reason they are somewhat common along the coast and Matthews county seems to turn them up with some regularity.
