Here's a few rocks I've found this (My first) year.

So, should I make my wife happy and get these rocks out of her house? Or hold on to them?
The Indians in my area must have been more technologically advanced because I sure don't find any arrowheads here ;D !

Keep 'em for two reasons: No. 1 most of em look to me like they have been worked and No. 2 Keeping the wife aggravated keeps you young ;D at least it does with me...d2

The first looks like a shaft abrader, the 2nd and third are pitted hammer stones and good examples.

Thanks d2 for the advice. In fact I think I'll go downstairs and make beer today. She loves that.

Thanks Rege. Pic #3 & #4 are the same stone but just shows both sides. Pic #7 shows where there looks to be holes started directly across from each other. #8 shows the depression. The last pic has some glossy, glasslike material in the notch area.
I picked up the long piece (Next to foot) up about 3 years ago from some rip rap fill in a ditch. I've been walking on it in my landscape. My buddy said he saw one just like it at an artifact show at Starved Rock Park, Illinois. The one he saw was about 3/4 the size and the guy said his was a spade. He said that I better keep this one.
