I have a bunch of artifacts that I've found in Virginia that I need some help identifying and dating. I can't seem to find a whole lot info or examples of most of the stuff that I've been finding. I have found slate and Quartz/quartzite tomahawk heads, hammers, knives, scrapers, spear points, handles, and some arrow heads. A few pieces are made of a couple other types of rocks as well. One piece is a green and black Jasper I believe. The couple pics without the ruler are all around 2-5 inches. Most of the pieces were found surface hunting the banks around a creek that's right next to the river. I would appreciate anyone that could help me figure out exactly what I've got. I'm guessing a few of my pieces are a little rare since I can't seem to find any examples like them anywhere (or I'm just not looking in the right place lol). Thanks!👍

Sorry but I just don't see anything more than ordinary rocks.
With the exception of maybe the one in the top middle of your last picture.

Random rock fragments are the majority of what you have in my opinion, with the exception of the piece icewing noted. That's a good find.

I am sorry to say that I have to agree with the other posters. I live near Martinsville VA. If you are close, I would be glad to show you my collection and maybe take you out to find some real artifacts.

Some of them have been worked . Only see one native point. Most are by priest the other nature. The heart is one of the priest's work
