Can anyone identify these items for me. I believe the one is a celt but the one on top i cannot figure out
 

The one on left is the one i dont know. Not top. Picture flipped on me

From the picture both look like naturally formed stone but if either one has been altered by man it was very crudely done. The one on the right has possibilities but we really need to see a side view of the bit end to give a better opinion.

When i get back to the house this evening i will take pictures from different angles of each. But in the meantime i can say that the one end of piece on right is squared off at the back end.
If either was formed naturally i would first assume it to b the one on right. Both were found in water at edge of river bank in stone deposits. Within a few hundred yard of a know site of miami indians.

I guess if some ol' neanderthal picked up a real good skippin' rock , chucked it and hit a mastodon between the eyes, you could call that skippin' rock an artifact. Matter of fact if you use your imagination you could make an artifact out of every rock you pick up. Reality is those finds of yours could have very well been used as an intended tool or weapon,but artifacts that are identifiable usually cannot be mistaken because they are usually a work of art or they show signs of heavy use. I'm going to have to agree with that ol'relic from Alabama and say,without more conclusive pictures, they are just a couple of rocks! But you know if you think they are sure enough artifacts,that is all that matters. Stay in the hunt and best of luck!!!The Kid

Mother nature forms billions of rocks into shapes man's eye see something in but in the end they are still just rocks.....

Take them to the nearest artifact show to you next time one is held and see what the consensus is..
