Post #5 looks likes a 'pestle' used with a stone mortar (matate).
Don......
PS: Since you added more pics, that item may now be used as a hatchet.

#7 is a fire starting (native American) stone
Don.....

Thank you any idea what what picture number #1 would be considered as, its fairly big...

Pic 4 is a nice grooved axe pic 8 is a smaller axe pics 5 and 6 is an adze used for wood carving ... Not sure if value it would depend on the buyer

My humble opinion:

1. Preform, crude scraper, debitage
2. Flint nodule, not a tool
3. Preform, crude scraper, debitage
7. Slate pendant
8. Flint nodule with implement damage. Does look to have some peck wear on the end. The "groove" would have to be looked at in person by someone with experience. Just
from the picture, the groove looks like damage to me, additional pics would help.

Value.....on 1, 2, 7, 8....very little. Slate pendant has some value but it's rough and unfinished. As Mac stated, it very well could be a fire starter but again, not much value. The axe and celt...$75 and up?

I think 5 and 6 are the same Mac?

first 3 nothin' much.
#4 full grooved ax, prices vary....$30-60, maybe more.
#5,6 celt, ( un-grooved ax)......a little less than the grooved ax.
#7 and #8, need more pics.
Monetary value varies greatly from region to region, some auctions I have been to things go dirt cheap, other times sky high. It is really hard to put a price on artifacts, especially from a pic.
Looks like you're in a good area, keep on huntin', and postin'.

1320,
I agree. I based my initial response on only seeing #5.
