Thank you any idea what what picture number #1 would be considered as, its fairly big...
 

Pic 4 is a nice grooved axe pic 8 is a smaller axe pics 5 and 6 is an adze used for wood carving ... Not sure if value it would depend on the buyer
 

My humble opinion:

1. Preform, crude scraper, debitage
2. Flint nodule, not a tool
3. Preform, crude scraper, debitage
7. Slate pendant
8. Flint nodule with implement damage. Does look to have some peck wear on the end. The "groove" would have to be looked at in person by someone with experience. Just
from the picture, the groove looks like damage to me, additional pics would help.

Value.....on 1, 2, 7, 8....very little. Slate pendant has some value but it's rough and unfinished. As Mac stated, it very well could be a fire starter but again, not much value. The axe and celt...$75 and up?
 

first 3 nothin' much.
#4 full grooved ax, prices vary....$30-60, maybe more.
#5,6 celt, ( un-grooved ax)......a little less than the grooved ax.
#7 and #8, need more pics.
Monetary value varies greatly from region to region, some auctions I have been to things go dirt cheap, other times sky high. It is really hard to put a price on artifacts, especially from a pic.
Looks like you're in a good area, keep on huntin', and postin'.:thumbsup:
 

If anyone can find out when a indian show or somewhere I could possibly take my stuff to and have it looked at, cause there's way more...please let me know...never been to one any where by Lexington Ky to Cincinnati would be awesome since I'm located in the middle :)
 

And thank you all for your opinions and taking time to help me, I appreciate it....you all are awesome
