I found these in one spot. I believe some are bell-shaped, some are Conical-like. Could be a couple hammerstones in the bunch. The pics aren't the greatest. Eventually I may focus on individual ones. Comments?

Yep there are rocks I have a whole garden full of them (Geofacts)
 

There might possibly be a Hammerstone or two in there, but for the most part they are just plain rocks. I don't see any that might be a Pestle.

Here are a couple of Pestles so you'll know what to look for in your future hunts.

lik--Thanks for response--Are you talking about the one that is 'like a triangle'? I'm severely color blind and do not see any red ones. LMK, and I will get a better pic. Also, I get really confused with the terms,,,,,mortar, metate, mano, muller, Can someone give me a quick way to differentiate. TIA
 

Here's a little info Shemanese The first pic is a Metate which is the large stone and the Mano which is the small stone.
The second pic is the Mortar which is the bowl and the Pestle which is used for grinding & mixing.
