Well those are pretty darn interesting, the gorget should elicit some comments from the Ohio collectors. Did they come from the Florida area?

The other piece looks like the conch shell adze. I've got a couple of Lucayan/Taino shell adzes from the Bahamas. Depending on the size, it's either queen conch or horse conch. They were the only Arawak peoples in the Caribbean that made really large shell adzes.

the one with the holes is a glacial kame sandle sole gorget,if found in florida its a long way from home but not out of the question that it could have been found in florida,they were made from conch shell that was traded from the gulf so it could have been a trade good
