Looks like a bow string release from Indians or something
My guess, stine sinker used for angling or cast net.
My guess- the weight stone tied onto the rope used to determine the water depth.
Hammer head tied between the top of a split stick handle and used by native Americans to keep people in line. Nowadays we have tasers.
Am thinking it was a tool used for grinding corn and such things.
Not sure how it was made
As for GROUPER, some mighty fine eating, there.
My guess the stone is a corn grinder. Or for various other grains to be ground. Could also be used to bust open bones for the marrow or skulls for the brains.. ???
Stone is for fixing hangovers, someone hits you with it and you forget all about the hangover.

This stone is several hundred years old & was probably used for grinding corn & other grains. The word is grouper
I took mine to show to the people at the native American museum in Frisco, NC. had some spear points and arrow heads as well as the hammer. Sat down with the head of the museum, showed him my stuff and the first thing he said was " Can I touch them?"
