I wish I could give you an educated answer. It is very easy to believe those holes are man made. Very interesting finds. Thanks for great pics.

@old dude Thanks for looking! I wish I had the expertise to determine if its man made or natural. I hope someone can help. Here's a pic with a one inch .22 bullet for perspective

They are definitely stone. The reason they caught my eye was the light color. Nothing else in the streambed was close to this pale stone. Also the stones were all within a foot of each other.

@Rick The area was definitely inhabited by native/indiginous americans. I was thinking a fire tool as well.

Maybe they are net or fishing line weights? Clam shells can be found with button rounds taken out of them, but these are not clam shells. Maybe provide more context about where they were found. Look in to the archeological records for that area. Interesting finds!
