thanks for the the responses! yes, i am new at artifact hunting (less than a year) and i hunt the same creek 95% of the time. i have brought home 5 gallon buckets of flint from that creek on numerous occasions, some of it altered and some not. but it is a learning experience. i think it is a disservice to newbies to encourage them to only bring home the pretty points and such. i think these have been refined after being removed from the source. i'm still struggling to get the whole picture thing down but here are a couple shots of the biggest one and one of the smaller ones. is this evidence of further refinement?

Not encouraging them to only bring home the pretty points, we are encouraging them to hunt for and bring home ARTIFACTS not rocks, there is a difference.

I brought home thousands of pieces of broken artifacts, brought home ugly artifacts, I just didn't bring home rocks that i could imagine was artifacts if I closed one eye and stared at it long enough...

There is a difference in a rock that has been broken and chipped by tumbling in a creek and an artifact that has been worked by man..

Maybe this will help out a little..
.... Not pretty right?



But a closer inspection shows work done by man not a break that can occur naturally






The pieces in your original post looked all to have one thing in common.. If they are reduction flakes like I'm assuming they all have a high point... And part of working a piece involves removing high points over and over to thin it down.. That would explain why you find many that look similar.
The last piece you posted looks like it has work on the edge
