Native American artifacts?

[hatidua]

This is a long-shot but maybe there is someone on here who knows a thing or two about old rocks. While I've contacted a few "authorities" on the matter of Native American artifacts, the info they have sent me pertains to perforated stones that range in size from 1-3" at most, these are all in the 6-9" range and are not similar to any that I've found info for online. All were found on private land halfway between Riverside and San Diego, CA, any info about perforated stone weights would be much appreciated:

That's what I thought at first glance, portable fire starters. Kind of like a graphite striker.

These are interesting. If these were for bow drills, as the link suggests as one possible use, why drill a hole all the way through? Or maybe, over time, the hole got bored through the stone from use and it was discarded once the hole went all the way through.

Plus, yours are much larger than the others. How large are the holes in yours?

Cool stuff. It's amazing how much we've forgotten about the ways of the past.

could be for weighting nets or lines

Sorry Haituda... Couldn't resist.

Curious to know what they are as well.

Ancient artifacts always fascinate me. As GilpinGuy said, it's amazing how much we don't know about the ways of the past.

I'm curious about what you eventually find out about these.

+1000. Many people today seem to think being "smart" is a recent development.
