Went digging for a couple hours today. Found a couple broke points. What appears to be a big quartz scraper and I'm not sure what the last piece is. Broken knife maybe? Any thoughts? Forgive my ignorance and sorry if these newbie questions are getting old.

Cool finds. Looks like a broken knife. Performs of quartz are usually rougher.
 

Dang I have found so many in just those same shapes and designs in my quartz spot I go to. Very nice to see the same tools found so far away. You got some good ones and thanks for the show of them. rock
 

Thanks, broken knife is what I thought. Am I right in thinking that the big one is a scraper? It sure seems like it. It's the first large quartz one that I have found.
 

Well the ones that are flat on the end is a normal design I have found (not broken) from the ones I have found. I believe that flat base is from striking the piece off of the mother stone. I have one with the same shape I can show. My camera is out of batteries so I will have to go with what I got already. One is a large scraper and the other which is square is a biface.
