We found these rocks in the field along with arrowheads and other lithic objects.

The finger shaped stone may be a pestle.

The first triangle object may also be a pestle. It seems older and more worn that other rocks we found. On the wide end, it is worn and flat at an angle, like it may have used to grind something.

The 2nd triangle object is just weird. It looks as though it was gouged out to shape it.

Can anyone help me identify these objects?

Thanks

Geofacts and the other two post are worked quartz. If you look on this site they have a great Indian artifact section with some pretty smart guys and gals.
Are they plowing now in Ala? I have some fields down there I hunt :thumbsup:

TN,is that what your Quartz looks like back there?
 
Thanks for the feedback. I am hoping that more plowing can be done in the lower fields where all the streams converge. It was too wet in early March. Problem is I live in Colorado and have to fly there to search.
