Great day of hunting man, nice little celt and triangle point. Shame about the hematite celt.
 
Nice finds. Hematite finds are especially exciting.

The hard stone celt looks to be an adz, not a celt. The bits are different. An adz is concave and off center, while a celts bit is centered.

Nice hunt, looks like you find a wide range of material.

Still looking like a celt to me. http://www.theaaca.com/Learning_Center/celts.htm
real nice day of hunting headhunter,that is a celt not an adze.an adze will be flat on the underside with the bit beveled at approximately a 45 degree angle,this peice is clearly convex on both faces.The broken peice may have been an adze.
 
The quartz point, looks like the smooth milky white quartz, thats the best quaility quartz, it shows the flaking nicely.
You sure had a great hunt, congrats,
Good luck for your next hunt.

Molly.
