Look like clay marbles to me. By the way did you notice how big you can blow up that photo? Nice!

If they are clay, are they rare? and about how old would you think they are. Did you see the scrapings as if they were carved with a tool of some kind. I found them about 1 year apart in around the same spot. Thanks for your help
