I Walked a field that had given up several blades and scrapers. I found this small collection today. Nothing to brag about, but enough to keep me checking after each hard rain.
The bottom row L to R:
A porcelain flake, blue glass, scalloped flint, clear glass.
The porcelain and glass confirm to me that I may want to metal detect this area.They aren’t natural and most likely got in this field due to an abandoned house, etc. Could be metal items here also.

The scalloped flint is most likely just natural damage/wear but it resembles possible preform work. Thought I would include it in photo.
Very nice to be outside looking! ✌️

I'd get the detector out on a site with clues like these!
 

With all the flint debitage you’ve found it’s amazing to me you haven’t bumped into a whole point. You need to expand your hunting area. They were knapping where you’re hunting. You need to find out where their camp is located. Close to water with cover or hills to block the north winds.
 

I have never hunted artifacts. probably never will. My walking is limited any more. But i sure like seeing your finds :) Thanks BF for sharing yours,
