When you say came across, what does that mean? Found in a field, found in an antique store, mailbox find?

The three normal looking pieces look like Southern Indiana or Kentucky finds, nice examples. The other piece almost looks carved vs knapped. If it's old, I haven't seen anything like it.
 

I think all of them have been altered and rechipped in modern times. You can see the patina change near the tip and base on the bottom right piece, and the notches look suspect in the other two flint pieces. The other piece looks fake, like someone used a dremel tool to carve out a paleo like point and added sidenotches on the auricles, jmo, hope you didn't pay much for them.

Know I know they are not from here in this area.As I've found plenty and they look nothing like anything I've found from here.And they cost me nothing.My neighbor gave them to me as he knows I collect things like this.I know he didn't make them and he told me he found them at the end of a road walking.I was just wondering if you all had seen anything like them.As said some look almost like some in a book I have of others out west from me but the one with the notches on the ends is something I've never seen.And tell you the truth it does not look like it has just been done if it was made with a dremel.But I don't know that's why I like finding my own as I know for a fact they are real.
But thanks guy's for your help with them. :thumbsup: I'll keep them out from my others and maybe someone might know more on them.
Take Care,
Pete :hello:
