artifact or natural?

I found the following in a stream on a farm near revolutionary war battle. I'm not certain that this not natural but the perfect circles make me wonder... any help is much appreciated!!!

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

What do the pieces seem to be made of - stone ? shell ? I'm leaning toward artifact !

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.

Thanks for the size perspective, they are bigger than I though at first.
Are artefacts know in your area ?
I agree they surely look "made", jewlery, fire bow berring ??

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

Why don't you post these over in the North American Native Artifacts forum- also Whatsit forum somebody will have a clue .

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!
