i like the middle piece
at first glance i thought some kinda axe maybe not finished

maybe charl or reaper would know

i think the 1rst piece is natural

2nd and 3rd piece are cool jmo

I am stumped on what the round / circle looking pieces are?? The second item is a real nice chipped and notched axe or hoe, a real nice find congratulations ! The third item looks to be an artifact, and has been worked around it's perimeter to thin it, and to put an edge on it. It could have been used as an expedient chopping or cutting tool, or could have been rejected in favor of starting over again on another stone? Looks like you have a good spot to keep looking for even more artifacts. HH

I really don't know about the first two. but wanted to throw this out..maybe the inside casting of a shell animal of some sort, fossilized. I have found two somewhat similar to yours, much smaller though. I thought they were pottery, they looked so deliberately formed. Then saw an ID of an internal cast of a shell...what the critter's inside chamber was shaped like. There was a break in them just like yours. Not a connected ring...Hope someone can say for sure!

1st....natural JMO
2nd...Bowtie AX chipped flint (nice)
3rd....Could be a scraper or a wood working tool. Is it flat on one side?
Nice finds, rock

 

[660GRIZZ]

Thank you all and yes rock the 3rd one has 1 very flat and smooth side

I have one I found but is smaller and I believe it is a type of adze or scraping tool. Im in GA.

That round piece is certainly an oddity. I agree with Rock about the bow-tie axe/adze. Your last piece is what I've always called a turtle back scraper. Here is one I recently picked up.















Nice finds!!!

The axe is called a bolen axe in south Georgia. It is nice. I have found artifacts just like your last piece. I'm not sure what they were used for but you found a nice one. I have no idea on the first piece.

 

[rock]

Lets see if I can find a example of mine and yeah it could be a type of turtle back scraper. Ours are more oval that I finds though. The first one is a scraper unifaced the 2nd one is bifaced (worked on both sides) but still a tool.

The round pieces look to be a Bone from a cut piece of meat, like a ham. Modern and cut with a meat saw.

I completely agree I've actually picked up a couple of those on second Seminole War sites.. They were remains of soldiers meals.
That is a killer Bolen Axe.
