As for your other post, there's nothing apparent from your pictures to suggest these are meteorites.and you have told us noting about their properties or circumstances/location of find.

The last picture (and possibly the second picture which is out of focus) potentially has melt features and vesicles which would be more typical of a terrestrial volcanic rock. Vesicles are only very rarely seen in meteorites and, when present, usually small and confined to a glassy fusion crust.
 

Fukitol, there are numerous factors involved in determining if a certain
rock could be a meteorite, or not. To try and determine it's status based
only on blurry pics is quite literally impossible.

Clear, in-focus images of the stones (dry) taken in natural sunlight
would be a great start.

What does each stone weigh, and are they attracted to a magnet?

Welcome to the site..awesome handle if they let ya keep it..:icon_thumright:
 

Ok ty for the input ill get it a little more together and try this again . One thing i can share about them all would b they all are magnetic
 

Could be slag from a smelting operation. There are big mounds of slag all over the country from copper, silver and iron refining.
