Are you sure those are Pendants. They just look like rocks with holes in them to me.

ok i could be wrong but i have seen others on here and they called them pendents. rocks with hole's in them? they were drilled.

I'm not trying to dispute you, especially since you have them in hand and all I have is pictures, but the holes just don't look drilled to me. They look more like holes that have been formed by a softer material weathering out of a harder material. I know there are such things as Pebble Pendants because I few a couple from a Ft Ancient site I hunt. But those look more like what we call Holy Stones, or simply put, stones with holes in them.

OK i took a closer look and from what your saying i think your right on all of them but one, it's the flint rock i will take a better picture of it and maybe you can decide if that one is drilled or just a hole but i think it's drilled.. The hole stone's make sense, maybe you can help me out with another rock that i have? It reminds me of hard mud trying to form into stone, It came out of a creek and if you shake it you can feel and here something rattle around in it! It has nothing to do with Indian's but i thought it was cool..

That bead i found in a ditch next to a dirt road, they had been a fire in the field next to the road where a old camp site was and the road went up a lil hill, i think when they built the road they went over some graves cuzz i found that bead there and some other things.
Well after a rain i went looking around because you could see the dirt real well and thats how i found the bead.

I think the bead is actualy the stem of what folks around here call a "Red River Pipe", in other words an early caddoan ceramic pipe. But its just as cool as a ceramic bead anyway. I've got some holy stones too. Some I think were actualy drilled and others not. On drilled ones, the hole will generaly be smooth and perfectly round so to speak The rock you found in the creek is what folks used to call "Paint Rocks" bust them apart and there is mineral pigment inside. They are definatley "geofacts" but, N.E. Texas natives did pick them up busted em up and made pigments with them.
