Went digging for a couple hours today. Found a couple broke points. What appears to be a big quartz scraper and I'm not sure what the last piece is. Broken knife maybe? Any thoughts? Forgive my ignorance and sorry if these newbie questions are getting old.

Dang I have found so many in just those same shapes and designs in my quartz spot I go to. Very nice to see the same tools found so far away. You got some good ones and thanks for the show of them. rock

Thanks, broken knife is what I thought. Am I right in thinking that the big one is a scraper? It sure seems like it. It's the first large quartz one that I have found.

Well the ones that are flat on the end is a normal design I have found (not broken) from the ones I have found. I believe that flat base is from striking the piece off of the mother stone. I have one with the same shape I can show. My camera is out of batteries so I will have to go with what I got already. One is a large scraper and the other which is square is a biface.
