Most came from my yard. The big one was found at the edge of a pond. Can anyone tell me anything about them.

Nice !
I'm pretty sure that's a dime, the others.....look like arrowheads.

Nice finds. There are a lot of stemmed and weakly notched types that look similar, especially during the Woodland period, so ID'ing can be tough sometimes.
But, the piece to the right of the coin looks to be a Kirk Serrated from the Archaic period. Lower left looks like a mid Archaic type we call a Bottleneck, or it could be a broken Elk River base. Both are Benton culture in association.
The lower right piece looks to be made from Hopkinsville chert (St. Genevieve formation).

Don't take advice from Specializedjon. He doesn't know his dimes from his quarters.I'm pretty sure that's a dime, the others.....look like arrowheads.

Very nice. I just came in from walking my yard and didn't find anything but a pocketful of flakes and small chunks. House is on a bluff over a horseshoe bend in the river and several neighbors have found a ton, me only a couple dozen. Buddy next door suggested the area is an old camp.

In your defense. A quarter is barely worth a dime today.Whoops
