I switched it up today.. I didnt feel like walking walking in fields or detecting. I wld have detected today if I new land to walk on but I didnt feel like door knocking either lol.. anyways I remember a cut over I walking in one time right on the creek and where they bull doze a path I remember seeing flent, pottery shards and I think I even found a broke point then. I didnt know I was going to go digging or I wld have made a shifter. It just hit me all of sudden to do it bc I been watching YouTube on ppl doing it and was getting real successful. So I tried it lol I guess I done ok idk... the lap stone it's been worked on it was about 2ft down maybe 2.5 all the rest was in the first 5 to 8 inchs..

Be careful. In some states that’s illegal. Nice finds though

Looks like you are on an eastern US woodland period site. The large flat stone is a metate. It would have been paired with a mano and was the base upon which corn, nuts, or other grains would be ground. The triangular points are all true arrowheads, not atl-atl darts points like most of the points found in the US. Run an internet search for "Native American, eastern woodland period" to learn more. Nice finds.
