Any ideas as to what these two items could be?

Are they stone or wood?

Neither are artifacts, moving to rock forum...

Okay, thank you! I'm still new at all this. They were found in the same field I've found all my arrowheads, meatate and discoidal so I wanted to make sure they weren't something other than a rock.

The first rock looks to me like a sock darning egg. Could be old IMO. Looks really cool no matter what! I also noticed it looks like it has been painted.....

It's definitely different for sure. I can't tell if it has been what I would call burned and then scraped or if it's paint. I've washed it with Dawn dish soap and a soft cloth. It looks to me like the black lines are something other than paint but I honestly have no clue. I hunt arrowheads where I live but I've also found civil war relics. Maybe it was carried here. Desoto's trail is not to far that's another possibility I guess

Very respectfully, I am not sure I agree with the statement of the first one "not being an artifact". It may not be a native american artifact, but it shows obvious signs of someone either "painting" or "etching" a design on it that is not natural. And the "egg" shape of it seems to perfect to be a natural rock.

To me, it looks like a stone shaped and decorated for possible use for darning socks. And it looks old. Not trying to start any conflict, or argument, only my opinion, respectfully!

Gesa, your reply wasn't rude, I was just advising why I moved it was all..
