Fellas,
      Dont anything about knapping but could some of you tell me what these points (see photo) are called? Do any of you knapp these. They are from approximately 500 BCE and were found here in Michigan. Thank you for any help

Looks like Knight Island's to me. From that area and late woodland, 1500 - 1000 BP Overstreet says :).

Could also be an Afton, middle Archaic to Woodland, 7000 years ago to about 2500 years.  It is a midwestern point, but it is on both sides of the Mississippi River and goes up the Ohio and Tennessee Rivers also.  Maybe went up your way after some copper?  Bill

The one on the left is a Pentagonal knife. Found from Alabama north to south Michigan.
