Looks like the first thing is a fossilized femur bone of an animal and then a quartz type rock and seashell.

Welcome to Tnet! Did those items register on your detector? What did they read?

Thank you for your insight!

Originally they must have. Just checked the two pieces again today and both registered nothing. So.......god knows how I dug um up!

Both of those objects are pieces of broken sea-shells. The one on the left seems to be from a bivalve shell (for example, oyster, clam, etc.) There's not enough of it for me to be more specific about its ID. The one on the right is from a spiral type shell, such as a whelk.

Thank you. I uploaded a few more pics. Hope they help!

Look like bits of shells to me. Are they larger or smaller than a Daushund?

CannonBallGuy nailed it.

I agree 100%. The one on the left are bivalves, and on the right could be a conch, whelk, or the likes. Breezie
