I don't have a clue what they are! I got emails back but, like Joe, I submitted a few at one time and I'm not sure what was what.
I know one thing...dem dare r rocks.

lmao! i do know a little about finding them but i have read lots of books about it to get to where im at so i bet that one is worth a good read. did you end up finding anything?
Nope...
I'm thinking of bribing one of the farmers in the area to do a little plowing at my place to see if I can turn something up. I know there are artifacts up there - my parents told me that my grandma / grandpa used to find them in their garden back in the day. I have an old ferguson tractor but no plow to go with it.

They responded today. Admittedly they didn't know much about artifacts and recommended I contact the Ohio historical society on that one.
Coral: This is a tabulate coral, probably Favosites.
Pinkish fossil: This is a brachiopod, a bivalve fossil that looks kind of like a clam although it’s considered a completely different organism.
Twig-like rock: This looks like a fossil burrow. When organisms like worms burrow in mud the burrows can be left behind as “trace fossils”. Sometime those burrows get infilled with mud or sediment which takes on the shape of the burrow and when the host rock weathers away you’re left with these branching rocks that show the shape of the original burrow. I think this particular trace fossil is called thalassinoides.

My buddy and his wife who are archeologists are total nerds! Ha. I'll text them a couple of these
Took my 10 year old nephew and my boy out today flipping some rocks. Tried a field that I always notice lots of flint in while deer hunting. Didn'y find anything of note, only a few areas with flakes and lots of big chunky pieces of flint. My nephew had never seen a point so when I got home I dug out the box of points and tools that I have found locally to my house that weren't in the pics of Dad and my collection I posted before. He is mesmorized by them and is dying to go out and find one. With the nice weather in the next week, I'm gonna try and get him out to find something. I snapped a pic to post here.
Those are all so fu*ken cool!!!
I have spent my whole like looking at the ground and streams I cross looking for a "Wild" or "Free range" Arrow Head.
As of today, nothing. Some times I think I'm to far north in the county for any encampments.
That's not to say I haven't pulled a couple of cool things from ol mother earth.
A few years back while Mudlogging around 5,000 ft. down (a depth equal to around 350 million years ago) I found a iron based meteor. Slightly smaller than a pea, pictured here in a pill bottle cap.
The one side was smooth and pock marked from being glazed as it heated up coming into our atmosphere.

Sorry man, no clue.
Cool finds you have there. I've never found a meteorite - don't really know what to look for, though.
I took my 10 y/o to the farm today to look for sheds and hit the creek to see if we could find any artifacts. No arrowheads, but he found a salamander, a deer leg bone, a turtle shell and some feathers. All of them treasures to him and a great time in the woods with my son.
Was pretty wild - we drove the ATV back into the woods, got off and 30 yards away stand two deer just staring at us. We stared each other down for a good 5 minutes before they slowly wandered off. They must know hunting season is over lol
