    Could these be tools?

    I found these near Bastrop, TX (central texas) about 20 years ago on my friend's property. We were searching for arrowheads as he had found some previously. I was thinking they might be knapping tools but I have seen none that look like either of these in looking at tools on the internet over the years.

    They both fit really well in the hand, appear to have been made by chipping and look to be worn smooth in spots (maybe from use?). I did find the triangular rock nearby and it looks like it could have be worked on or it could all just be my imagination. I would appreciate any opinions, thanks.

    Those look like natural chert cobbles to me.

    I agree with Steve. Just because something fits in your hands, doesn't make it an artifact.
    Also, there seems to be no wear at all on the rocks..chips/flakes.

    Good luck in the furure though.

    The light colored piece on the bottom middle looks like a worked piece of flint. Maybe even a tool its hard to tell from the photo. You never know, its why we keep looking and learning. Good luck in your hunts.
