yesterday's finds - need help w/ ID

Hunted a creek yesterday and found a savannah river, a big piece of pottery, a quartz guilford and a plate shard. Am wondering if the quartz piece could've been a hatchet head? The other two big rocks are probably just paperweights, but wanted to post just in case. The one with three points is convex on top and concave on the bottom. Thanks!

It mat have been a large Scraper or maybe a rough Knife, but not an Axe.

Ok, thanks Grim. Not an axe because it doesn't have notches?

Not the right shape or size. They did make some Axes from Flint but they were usually large and did have notches. Check out Guilford Axes or Butterfly Axes and you will see what they should look like.

Will do, thanks. Love learning about all of this

Those are great finds! Looks like you have a productive creek like mine, you wouldn't happen to be in North Carolina would you?

All I see is 3 stone pieces on the bottom that are artifacts and some pottery. Take the rest back they look like rocks unless you can give more pics. I see no ax or knife.
