Found same day, same creek, within yards from each other. I really think it is a pecking stone and a pressure stone for a fire starter, but they fit very well so that's how I'll show 'em!

the bottom of the hole should be polished smooth if it were a mortar.
 

If I found them the way you did,I certainly would have carried them home too. Especially if the creek produces. Of course you may never be 100% certain and I have several different items in that category.
Pictures can be very deceiving at times or at best insufficient. To me the " holed" stone looks like granite or something else very hard rather than the type of softer material that regularly occurs with pocket sediment erosion holes and the like.
 

They look natural to me. But I am not from your area.
 

i do think i see wear on the pointy end of the pecking stone.
