Serrated points

I`m not sure what that might be. Maybe ridge and valley or Ft Payne chert.

Do you agree that they are worked or did I just find some random rocks :)

They look like percussion flakes. They were knocked off a bigger piece of stone with either a hammerstone or an antler billet as part of the knapping process of making stone tools and arrowheads.

That's what I thought too. I'm definitely going to look for more around that area. All of the points I've found have been white quartz.

I'm with Nic. The smallest, black piece looks like Knox chert from eastern TN, the other looks like "blueberry" Ft. Payne chert from northern AL.
