No points this time, but still a great day to be out in the creek

The field we hunted a few weeks ago is growing now, so my kids and I moved down to the water. The main creek was too high to see anything, but we found a shallow spring and the owner was happy to let us poke around there all morning. Found a couple of broken pieces that looked worked, a donut shaped metal object, and a weird honeycombed rock. Not as good a hunt as the first one, but my kids of course found many more pieces that they imagined were arrowheads so we all came home happy.
Any guesses on what the rock and metal pieces are? Not native of course, so this is probably the wrong forum. The "rock" might be manmade, but the gradually smaller holes make me wonder if it's weathered.

Interesting rock with all the holes i am curious as to what it is the round metal thing could be a large washer maybe? The main creek might have some stuff uncovered after the water goes down hope yal find something really good when it does

The rock with lots of holes looks like a piece of igneous rock, a form of lava rock. It is common out west don't know about the east.

The donut shaped metal thing is about 3 inches in diameter and about an inch thick. One side is really rounded like a donut, and the other side is flat. My kids insist that it's a fossilized indian donut

Interesting - this is at the base of Lookout Mountain in Georgia. I have seen some geodes in this same area.

The rough rock is probably a type of slag. The iron piece I have no idea but the other 2 pieces look like either broken artifacts or debitage.
