So I walked around this pasture that I know for certain I have never been on foot in, and found some of the coolest and strangest large stone items I've ever found. One, which was a favorite, was a game ball. My dad has kept two things I've ever found on his ranch. One was a big pot I pulled out of a cave and the other was the game ball.

Hoe? Hand ax? some kind of chopper
I have a thumbnail attached that I don't know how to get rid of, so, I'm pretty sure they are all nutting stones (the top one is a maybe)

Nice, that cobble chopper is sweet! It is my understanding that one likely use of those was to break into large bones for the marrow.
