I have had these tools(?) for a few years. Are they anything or just geofacts?

Black and brown looks like a large scraper some might call it a celt. The others look natural to me. All worth picking up for further study though
 
crockery piece on top left corner looks like a piece of "Herty Cup" otherwise known as a turpentine pot
 
I see some pottery sherds up top, and a few tools ( possible knives, choppers) throughout the frame. That blackish red stuff is nice looking material. Two of the round balls look like historic game balls or marbles.
 
i think you have 5 or pieces that are either knives, scrapers, preforms, or unfinished tools
i think that the black thing is just some kind of rock
lars
 
i just found one of those round looking balls today and found a scaper on thusday.i'd like to have more info. on the ball if anyone has any.
 
In the frame the pieces on top are pot shards (probably a mix of historic and prehistoric.) There are a couple of sharks teeth and a ray plate in there as well.

All of the flint looks like pretty standard tools and utilized flakes from the Flint River area of Georgia (some field, some water finds.)

The round balls are probably historic marbles or I've heard there was also a type of ball like these that come from old fire extinguishers.

The first piece in the individual picture looks like a celt, but the shape is historic looking. (It looks like what we made during a boy scout camp.) It's definately got a bit worked on the one end.

The second piece has the profile of a mano or grinding stone, and looks to have some polish as well. Or depending on your geology, it could just be a rock.

The third piece is definately a tool.

The fourth piece is probably just a rock, but there is an odd hole right above your thumb that makes me think it might be a piece of fossilized bone.
