Congratulations everyone on all the finds! Hope you got some more this weekend.
Here are some of the things I've picked up recently...
Picture 1 is a rectangular flint piece (maybe a gunflint?), a small fish-shaped point (the tip's broken off), a triangle point cracked in half, and some pottery.
Picture 2 is, I think, three net sinkers. I found them in the same area and they look almost like a set.
Picture 3 is a strange smooth, chipped rock that reminds me of the celts that are posted here occasionally. Any ideas?
Picture 4 is also a weird one. I thought this was fabric marked pottery, but it is very, very thin and light. A friend suggested it's just an old piece of asbestos. I'd better not eat it. :)

MarkDz, nice finds. I agree that those are Net Sinker Weights and three very nice ones at that. The black stone looks like a Celt preform to me. It looks like they were beginning to peck the blade onto it and you can see some marks on the body where they started to polish the piece. As for the last piece, it's hard to tell from your pictures if it's Pottery or not, but it looks like it might possibly be.
 

WOW, cool, I agree with DF, and that last relic would be an odd pottery pattern, but that is what it looks like, nice finds~ ::)
 

Thanks... glad you like 'em!
