Today, my dad and I walked along a dry creek bed looking for artifacts. This is what we came up with. I believe the two on the right are arrow heads but the middle on doesn't have grooves. The far left one looks like a broken larger tool but I'm not sure. Any information on these would be great! Thanks for reading!

What state are you in? The third one is made from Knife River Flint. The flint comes from Montana and is found in a lot of states. It is a very sought after material for collectors in the Midwest! The point in my Avatar picture is also Knife River. Very nice point!

Knife River Flint comes from a well known quarry in North Dakota. It is found often in surrounding states though.

Went out again today and found an arrowhead, broken tip, and some of what I believe to be knife river (correct me if I'm wrong). There's a picture of the site where we have been finding the artifacts. Also, I would like to know any techniques you guys use while hunting. Thanks in advance!

nice looking finds and hunting spot. it helps if you actually look at the water when it rains or rite after. There should be a current drag that goes across the bar that should be the best spot. rite where the current would be after the water goes down.
