Hello I’m new and need help!

[DEM]

Found these items in my creek in Tennessee. I am brand new to this and don’t know if I’ve found anything special or just rocks. The one by itself in the picture looks like a hammer to me and you can see where a strap was wrapped around it (or I’m crazy). Any help will be greatly appreciated. I’ve found a lot of things in the creek that look promising but sharing just a few. Thanks!

Welcome to TNet DEM!! Were those two pieces on the right found near each other?

 

[DEM]

No, they were all found in separate areas.

The two on the right LOOK like (but may not be) chert/flint nodules... which are more resistant to erosion than the surrounding limestone they usually form in. So, they are often found in creeks in limestone country. Sometimes, the nodules are solid through-and-through, meaning they have no internal cavity. But occasionally, they have crystal deposits inside them. If the nodule's internal cavity isn't entirely filled up solid with crystals, the nodule is called a geode.

You can view some potato-shaped ones among the photos here:

Hello, I'm new and need help, is how most of the meeting I go to start. Just kidding, sort of, anyway they do look natural, I lived in central Kentucky and a lot of the rock close to a water source looked that way. I still collected them because they looked cool and put them in our flower beds. I don't know the real name of them but we called them anvil head rocks. Got that from by brother in laws who lived there their whole lives.
