Expert Opinions Please

[romeo-1]

I found these flakes in a well hunted field and was wondering if they are anything more than flakes. Both sides are shown for clarity. I also found what may be a hammerstone but since I am so new to this I cannot say. Your expert opinions would be appreciated.

If you are reading this please take a minute to respond. As I mentioned I am very new to this and would welcome as much feedback as possible. I have already learned a great deal from this site. Thanks all.

Romeo 1... I don`t see any worked areas on the flakes, if they were worked you would see smaller chips around the cutting surfaces either from use or resharpening. However flakes usually don`t occur naturally
as they need to be struck from a core so the area you are searching may indeed have some worked items.
The rock could have been used as a hammerstone but there is no pocked area exhibiting repeated use.
Keep looking!

Thanks for your comments...they are appreciated. I didn't think that I had anything too earth shattering but being so new to the hobby I figure best to err on the side of caution and keep everything until I know it is nothing. I did find these flakes in the same field where I found the small quartz arrowhead and the quartzite knife. The flake is the same quartzite as the knife...still got a lot of field to cover so i should be busy for a few days!
