The oval piece looks like a bird is inscribe on it, back side flat. Very heavy, maybe lead. The rectangle piece is lead I believe with no marks on it. Not sure if the other is an Indian artifact. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
 
Home cast fishing sinkers

Sometimes they are cast using old spoons as a mold, any pattern on the spoon will be transferred to the lead sinker

Just my guess

Good guess Birdseed . . found an identical one w/out the image awhile back.
 
Civil war soldiers made fishing weights out of lead balls and mini-balls, and sometimes carved them to pass the time...
I also agree with the spoon mold...
The first item looks like an unfinished arrow point...

HH,
 
You'd have to take in consideration there these item's of yours were found and what they are made out of . From my 20+ years of finding and collecting Native American relics and been metal detecting for a couple of years my opinion is this. The first item looks like it could be flint and I can't tell if it is worked or not. The other two my be Indian treads lead. Check out the American Revolutionary War Encyclopaedia book for reference. I left a photo of a trade lead I found from earlier this year. Hope this helps you out . Dutch.
