Sorry, but those show no evidence of ever being altered by man so they are just naturally formed stones and not artifacts.

I have to agree .... Although the second has the shape of an arrow head there's no visible flaking or work I'm guessing they were found near water which can wear rocks down but there would still be visible signs of the stone being altered. IMHO

I hope

It looks like the long one may be a tool.

I just started looking for site this week! I believe the third picture down is something also I have to have a picture of the back. Its hard to tell from the picture but it had perfect symmetry. With one side broken or ear. Like a rounded tipped triangle with curved in edges on each side for ether shaving bark or a pendant? I too also believe that long stone is for cutting grooves in stone or wood?

All rocks from what I see no tool. On the 2nd one though I know it has the rite shape can we see both sides and a edge shot just to be sure?

As I said, nothing you have pictured there shows any evidence of being altered or used by man. All natural stones.

Probably a better approach, when one is brand new to the hobby, is to learn what tools from a particular region look like. If one starts out knowing little or even next to nothing, and then picks up rocks that one thinks might be something, one is going to be far less successful. Always best to view as many real artifacts, in private collections, in museums, online, etc. before going out to look for artifacts. Trying to learn it by picking up rocks with no experience in what actual artifacts look like is somewhat going about things the hard way.

The long one may be an artifact. I don't really know much, Im new to this site and rock/artifact hunting. I just wanted to leave my opinion because no one seems to answer my threads lol. The others could be something too. Don't give up hope! Maybe show someone in person who works in an artifact museum. Good luck! Check out my threads if you want and let me know if you believe any of my pics may be something.
