I’d say definitely a little paddle drill nice find !

Pretty materials.

They both look like flakes to me, probably debris from knapping. They might very well have been used as flake tools, but I don't see the shaping with secondary flaking to call it a bird point or a paddle drill. JMO.

Can you show pics more pics of the first item particularly the narrow part where it comes to a point ..... can you see any flaking on that part?

Yes arrow, there appears to be very fine flaking pattern on the neck. Looks like more work was put into it vs a random flake. Could be wrong though and its just a flake.

Yea I thought drill but I would take Joshuareams advice over my own he’s been Doing this much longer than myself and after all I literally just found my first drill days ago.
