So what types do you think those are? I was thinking Hardin and Osceola, but could be wrong on both counts. I wouldn't mind seeing some close up pictures if you take some. Those are just killers.

I think the pink one is an Osceola and the eared point might be a Hopewell Knife/Blade. The pink one measures 6 7/8" and the eared point measures 6 1/16".

I've seen some of your previous posts and must say, you have one of the most impressive personal finds "large flint" collections I've ever seen.
Whether "Osceola", Hemphill spear, or Graham cave, it's a smoke'n hot find and the corner notched blade is just as awesome. I wouldn't say banner, but I would say... BANNER/BANNER!!
Wish I could vote but I'm on a mobile app., good.news is, finding those three blades in one outing is priceless compared to a banner award on a forum. Way to go, and "hope your next hunt is your best", think I've heard that somewhere before???
You left out a picture of your 1rst piece which wasn't too shabby either, hope you don't mind me posting it... ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1450063591.642484.jpg

Thanks, Mark. I've hunted for 37+ years very, very hard and this was by far my most memorable and shocking. Here's the pics of the other points I found...

That's all the more amazing, your secondary finds!
Last winter I met a man at the Collinsville show in Illinois that had the nicest group of personal find Hardin's made of Mozark flint and I couldn't help but think of him when when I saw your post, because his finds were amazing also, none of yours are Mosark
but definitely just as amazing for there size, you've got some outstanding hunting grounds, may you continue to prosper!
