Indian Stone Artifacts?

[turkeysticks]

I found all three of these rocks in the same area, each weighing about 20 lbs. I don't know if they are anything noteworthy but thought I'd post. They were found about 200 yards away from a known indian mound in Iowa, in a creek bed. The broader area is is several hundred acres of timber.

The angular rock just seemed too angular not to be something man-made. The lines are straight and the sides flat with each end angling to an edge. I'm sure nature could produce such a rock but I just thought one side or maybe two sides would be flat with straight edges, not every side. This thing has clean, straight lines

The "big key" was another bizarre find, to me at least. The long narrow part again has fairly flat equal sides and the rock comes to a dull point. Maybe, and probably, not a significant find but I found it interesting.

The last rock seems to have handles on each side, areas where hands just fit. The back side is flat and about 2.5 inches wide. The front narrows to a scalloped edge along what I would call the front of the rock. It seems like a tool somebody would have used to grind material in a pulling fashion, perhaps to sand wood stakes or posts.

Take a look and let me know what you think. All of the rocks are igneous and appear to have a fair amount of iron in them. The pics didn't come through in the order I attached them but you'll be able to tell the pics I'm talking about above.

nature does interesting things, what you have are just rocks, we all find them all the time.

Sorry, Turkeysticks..........have to agree with Unclemac........nature made. Don't give up, though..........Indian relics are out there for you!!

I'm not sure if those are Indian artifacts, they look like nicely weathered rocks.

All are rocks. .. Mother nature forms zillions of rocks that man's imagination sees something in but they are still just rocks....

when you are trying to identify something, it's like this....Indian artifacts fall into two categories...#1, it is obviously made by man but I don't know for sure what it was used for (plummets)...or...#2, I know it was worked and I can tell what it is used for at a glance (pestles). there really isn't a #3, "I don't if it was worked and I don't know what it was used for".
