they are recreations like what i believe you have

Yeah maybe he is just pulling my leg then. It's funny that someone would bother recreating them when they really don't have much value when they are authentic. I've seen some in an antique shop that I'm assuming we're old ,selling for 4&5 dollars. I suppose it all depends on the design, age that sort of thing but thanks for the input !

it is done for money....and not very much..............like many things are made in low income countries......i mean nothing bad.......just sayin' that's all
one of the obvious signs are the absence of secondary flaking which is almost non-existent

They may not be real even in the antique shop just so you know. I buy sometimes from those shops if the price is rite but I have seen the fakes in the shops also so dont buy them unless you know they are real. Most people cant tell real from reproductions and that is why they are cheap most of the time. It really helps find some in the dirt yourself to know the difference. I dont buy the reproductions. Now I have seen some real ones at that price also.

Ive been going to Cherokee N.C. every three or four years since I was a kid. Every gift shop there has a basket of points that look just like those in the OP...with that said, I have a point that I found in an Alabama field that I know is authentic and it looks a lot like those in the OP.

We have a couple of antigue shops that sell the India made arrowheads for $.50 so just because they are in an antique shop means nothing SO with that being said.
You have had a lot of years of experience tell you their opinions, all of which are, the points you have are "trinkets". BUT like my arrowhead hunting mentor told me once when I would walk up with a "Rock" and asked if it was an arrowhead he would say, "Mr Doering", they can be anything you want them to be.

One other point, no pun intended, a famous flintknapper in the United States, known by many and has made several videos on flintknapping made a reproduction of a point to be sold as real and got caught and his reputation in the knapping world has been tarnished, SO, there are people that make reproductions out their also.

I am such a bad flintknapper that all of my points look like real indian artifacts!!!

I agree they do look like fakes. Now as per the seeding part my buddy and i do take his son and friends out and "seed" a little. Its hard to beat a seven year old's smile when they find a point! That being said his son also found a really nice hair pin that we didnt plant on our last trip out! Lol
