cool finds !
 

How do you tell an Indian burial ground from a place where a Indian may have camped or just dropped some stuff?
 

To me the first photo's stones don't appear to be points. I would need some closer photo's of the edges to see if they were "worked" or just random stone in the arrowhead shape. The last photo looks a little more like a point but still don't think it is. Keep looking you will find some.

If any of those are points, I better run down the hill to the creek and pick up all I can, cause the stuff is laying everywhere. Buckets full I tell ya. ;D

I'm sorry, but I too don't think they are artifacts either, and I'm not trying to be a smart a$$. I'd have to see some closer photos of the others, but what I seen now does not look like a projectile point.
 

They don't look worked to me either.
 

I hunt arrowheads quite a bit and although one kinda looks like a child could have been learning how to knapp. I dont think they are of a good quality. Trust me when you find good ones you will know without a doubt. None the less good looking at the ground. Keep it up and you will soon find a good one. Here is a pic of a well knapped peice. Pieces and tools come in all kinds of shapes and sizes so just keep looking and you are bound to find some very precious stones. Keep an eye out when it rains and in plowed feilds :icon_thumleft:
