Kevin--------I can't tell for sure but that first one seems to be an early Adena period --about 1000 to 500 B.C. (can't tell if the notches had points hanging down or if it is just flat)---------- the second appears to be a "Kirk" point from around 7000-8000 B.C.----------- the third is a "big Sandy" point (side notched ) from 4000-6000 B.C. --named for the Big Sandy river in tenn.------and the fourth is a "whack out from the A.D. period" when they didn"t take any time to true them up or thin them out ------------------ second & third are worth keeping !!! --good finds!!

Wish I could get my detector to find stone points, like the buttons too. Makes for a good day getting out like that. Nice finds all, nice neighbor too, thanks for the show.

those are awesome! I am sure a little searching will find the ID on those buttons, they are so clearly marked and easy to see details on. The points are really great!

The south carolina button is CW era... In that condition it is worth around $100 to 150... The other great seal buttons were most likely WW1 or WW2.
