The small arrowhead I found at an estate sale for $5. According to them, it's an authentic arrowhead. However, I have my doubts. The larger one I found in my back yard. Not sure if it's just a coincidence that the rock is triangular, or if it could be a real one. If any experts on arrowheads could tell me whether these are real or not, I'd really appreciate it!

No to both

Sorry, but 1320 is right. The little one is shaped like an arrow head, and might possibly be used on an arrow, which would make it a real arrow head -- but I think you want to know if it
is stone age point, and the answer to that is no. The larger one is just a rock shaped something like an arrow head, but shows no evidence of having been worked by a human.
I'm going to add some pictures of seven points to this post. Look at the pictures, and tell me what each one has in common with the others.

The flaking caused by the removal of excess material to create the point is what these points have in common. That's what shows the point
was worked by a human. Without the flaking you just have a rock.
