I am thinking that they are nature made rocks, they are interesting though.

I know my pictures aren't great lol there where lots of indian here from paleo to Mississippi time periods

Ok thanks, I'm not sure where your at, but they might be 6 feet under the surface as well. Many places around here along rivers or creeks are "new" with no documentation to land alteration.
Happy hunting and good luck.

Notice your 3rd posted pic next to all of the rocks the tan piece. Look for the work on the stones if there is no flaking then it is most likely natural rocks. I do see some with indentations that might be something but just so many it is hard to tell. Most are natural but you do have some worked pieces in the mix. HH, rock

The bone piece resembles a fleshing tool that was commonly used.

Something that really helped me when I first started hunting for them is learning the different types of rocks in your area. Im still learning them even today. There will be certain types of rocks that the Indians used to make arrowheads and other tools with. Not all types were used. When you find some rocks out there where you hunt take a hammer and break some up to see what is inside of them. You will probably see what I am telling you as to how they will shatter or crush. Be sure to wear some kind of eye protection when you do this. Look for a site on the net to learn the types of rocks in your state. These are the types to look for in my area. Flint, Chert, Jasper, Rhyolite, Granite and quartz. If the quartz was used it should be the inside which is almost always white to crystal clear. This is a great hobby but there is much to learn.

Hello rock you seem very knowledgable on artifacts tell what these are lol

 

[rock]

Well the last one is the best. Any chance of finding some that arent crazy looking? #5 I believe is natural just so you know unless somebody else says different. #1 looks kinda cool but its so darn big. I have no clue what they would of been used for.

The material looks like jasper. You out west?

 

[painterx7]

They fit Nicely in one or two hands the big one would work pulling toward ones self say for debarking small trees or limbs if I didn't have 50 the same shapes but different sizes I wouldn't wonder lol
