Can ya'll help?

I'm a contractor and did a rather large renovation (windows, doors, siding, new metal roof) this past Fall for an elderly lady in Adams County Ohio. This lady is as sweet as can be and REALLY enjoys talking. She is the fourth generation on the family farm and is quite the history buff.
Near the end of the the job, during one of our many chats, she mentioned her "indian goodies". She told me how she, her father, and grand father would look for flints as they plowed the fields with teams of horses. How muddy she would get as Young girl combing the fields after a good rain..... She ask if I would like to see the "indian goodies", before I could get yes out she was gone into the house. She came back out with an ice cream bucket full of .......
She ask if I knew anything about them. I'm clueless, but may know where to get some good info. So please help us. If you can identify anything please speak up. She is also looking for values, however, I highly doubt she would ever part with any piece.

Pic 1 - indian goodies
Pic 2 - best points??
Pic 3 - is this a game piece of some sort ?
Pic 4 - head knocker??

Hey Flip Flop. Kinda hard to see cause of the size but maybe some of the Ohio folks will look in and recognise the types. Sounds like the lady had a wonderful childhood.

TN,
Sorry about the pics, took me for ever to get this posted due to the pic sizes.
I'm hopping some of the Ohio guys chime in so I can get this lady some info.

Hi Flip flop

What you have in your hand in picture #4 is called a celt. It is a stone tool used for various tasks such as chopping. Looks like another celt laying on the table next to it in picture #1.

I wish that I could help you with identifying the arrowheads, but I'm not good in that area.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help Flint
She has 3 "celts" in all.
