I found these near the Chesapeake Bay while going for a walk in the woods. The pieces were not too close together when I found the second one, but they fit together like a puzzle and make a perfect oval.
Is this an Indian Artifact and if so, what was it used for?
Thank you for any help. I think I want to hang on to it, but if you have any idea about the value if any, that would be interesting to know.
Here are some images of things I found on that trip. The one I am talking about is the oval stone in two pieces, but I am also curious about any of the other fossil type of images on this page.
Is the pointy thing an arrowhead or some other type of primitive tool, or just a broken piece of rock?
Thanks for any insight.

You maybe should take it to an Artifact Museum the might be able to get you to someone that can tell you. Good luck but a picture would help.

Yes a picture would help
Also, you can check the State Archaeologist’s office. Also if the artifact leads to a site (old burial grounds or village), removing items can be a problem depending on the State
I see you are in Delaware..here is their website

Sorry for the link problem.
Here are some imgur photos. I am asking about the oval stone in two pieces, but any insight into the other ones I found would also be appreciated. Is the sharp one an arrowhead or spear or just a broken piece of rock? I found it in the woods near the oval stone pieces.
THANKS
