heres 2 more

What state? Illinois? Saw that on your other post... Too many points from different areas that look alike have different names and are from different time periods. You'll need to get your answer from a local or collector (likely on here or another board) who knows the area they came from, will even tell you what materials they are made of. They look Archaic to me but that's all I could say unless they were from FL
 

ILLINOIS all found on the family farm years ago all on the same 200 acres now its a subdivsion >:(
 

Nice finds, well at least some ppl might find artifacts while gardening etc, happens sometimes...
 

spearheads maybee?
look a bit big for an arrow.
 

They're both blades.

The first one is a Copena blade, and the second is a St. Charles a.k.a. Dovetail that has been sharpened to exhaustion. Probably in the last 2 or 3 resharpenings it lost it's ears.
 

The point looks like a St.Charles, but I'm not really familar with typology for your state.
Nice finds though, Congrats.

Molly. :thumbsup:
 

Both archaic for sure, the first one is a knife, and so is the second one. The first one looks like it's made of Cobden flint, and the second from Burlington. I would call the second one an archaic side notch. Hemphill is the name I lean towards. I have one similar, and I'll see if I can find a pic. of it for you to see. The notches don't really fit into the St. Charles/Dovetail type.

P.S. This is the only pic. I have on this computer, but hope this helps.
