Question A Couple River Finds

I have been hitting the rivers pretty hard these past 2 weeks as the water has been really low. I have never hunted rivers before and it turns out they have been more productive for me than hunting the fields or creeks which has been a wonderful surprise. In the past two weeks I have found 7 whole points, 3 brokes, and a handful of scrapers and tools. These are just 2 of my finds, I posted them because the side notch point is the best out of all of them, and the long skinny one I have a question about. Do you think this is a whole point? or does it look broken at the base? If it is a whole point I have no idea what type it could be. This is probably the strangest point I have ever found. Anyway any suggestions or answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Great finds and Great spot.
The broke looks like a tip to a drill or maybe a part to a Lance type///jmo

Agree with comanche the second does look to be a tip broken off. Love the small point. Great find thanks for the look.

Is the basal area ground smooth on the sides?If so it looks like it could be a crude older point.Kinda looks like an angastura

nice job man!!! I live in the general area (45 min from QCA). I have several spots around the Spoon and Rock Rivers but have never actually hunted them. How are you doing it?? I mean like do you just walk the banks or something? I'd love to try it sometime but never knew how to go about it!!

I just walk the banks and look for spots where rocks are washing out. You have to get your feet wet but it is a lot easier than walking most of the creeks that I hunt. The water level is really low right now so it is a good time to look. I went today and found two bird points and three brokes.
