Considering your first find was about two weeks ago I would say you and your wife are doing exceptionally well ...very nice finds!
Here is the link from a few weeks ago when I found my first point.

Techinically that was not my first point, it's just the first point in 30 years that I still know the location of. When I was about 8, I went with a cub scout group searching plowed fields and found a perfect arrow head, but I haven't seen it in 20 years, I believe I tied it to a stick and tried to shoot it at a tree.(dumb kids)
This has turned out to be a great hobby. I wish I had gotten into this years ago, We have 6 kids together (5 still at home ages 9-14) so far the weather has permitted all of us going out on weekends as a family, we are slowly learning ourselves how to hunt and also teach the kids. unfortunately I have not been able to afford all of the better cold weather gear/waders for the kids, so they are stuck on the bank. I have been searching for low cost youth waders but 50-70 bucks for each kid is just too much right now before Christmas. Thrift shops come in great for finding youth ski outfits and cold weather gear. We plan to keep searching the rivers throughout the winter. I have purchased some great cabelas waders for myself and the wife along with some great quality cold weather clothing. I think I will purchase a low cost inflatable raft to get the kids from sand bank to sand bank.
This forum has also been a big help, I have been reading nonstop, and want to thank all of you.
Here are a few other items we have found over the last couple of weeks. I almost cried when I found a few of those broken blades.
My kids have been collecting petrified wood and fossils, I have tons more. along with about 5 pounds of flakes (two weekends worth)
I have been trying to figure out what kind of tooth the black tooth in the lower section of the photo is.
