Need help in identifying items

[41chevy]

Got a collection of artifacts. My dad bought them at the estate sale of an Illinois professor about 30 years ago. Artifacts are claimed to be from pike county, Illinois. Want verification before I sell. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My brother had a Flint Ring just like your two and his was a repro of a Mayan type of Eccentric. Also, most of what you have looks like Pre Columbian pieces which would mean they are from south of the border and could be from Mexico or South America. I doubt any of it is from Illinois.
