Good Lord!!! Those are great. Can you get a closer picture of the one made out of crystal? Hang on you will get a lot of answers in a little while. Where were they found?...d2
 

First pic looks like a grooved axe,which is a cool find.The second pic looks like a preform or a blade. Third pic looks like a quartz point of some kind,base almost looks paleo though hard to tell.The frame of points all look nice, the large pointwith a snapped base would have been a killer.Need a better pic of the round stone to identify.Nice collection.

Hi there. I'm trying to identify some arrowheads my grandfather has. Normally, there wouldn't be such difficulty... But he has over 200 of them, plus a stone axe-head and one smoothed, oval stone... Not quite sure of the purpose. I'd be glad for the help.

Thanks a bunch.
Super collection,nice axe,What area,state did he hunt?

I'm going to be adding some new photos soon. Haven't had a chance to upload them yet...

As for where they're all from, they were found in northern Illinois on his family's farm. They were gathered over the years by his uncles when they were plowing. They'd surface when the blade cut by... The way the machines have changed now...More have probably come up but they probably aren't being seen.
 

The oval stone, next to the groved axe in the last pic, looks as if it may be a waco sinker, but I can't quite tell. Razor
