These from SE Iowa timber. The finished point was exciting to find: 1st one. I also kept what look to be 4 flakes. The larger pc on the right looks to have flaked edges. Could this be a worked piece that wasn’t completed? Thanks for helping the newcomer.

Nice stuff. I also think the one piece was probably used as a scraper.

Though I'm not from your area, I can say you're having good success.

There are experts in your region that will be more helpful than I.
The white pieces are made of a very high-quality snow-white quartz. The point is also a well-made side-notched type with a small tip break. A nice frame starter in my opinion.
The larger chunk may be a Pre-Form or an expedient tool such as a spoke-shave or some kind of cutting tool.

The rest seem to be debitage. It would be helpful if you can post pictures of the other sides.

I’ll try to photo the other sides. Thanks

Here is a pic of the back sides. I added a pc (lower left) appears to have been flaked.

Nice 1st point, the rest seems to be debitage. The other could be some type of tool or something unfinished. The same goes with the last picture bottom left. I'm not the best at typing and not from your area but the point looks like a milky quartz Big Sandy.
