I think I found a nice mano and metate. What's your thoughts

[Organicgalaxy5]

Hi I'm really hoping this is what I think it really must be. I found them about 20-20 ft from each other next to water.
the "metate" seems to have riffles in one end to maybe assist in the grinding of material? Also the opposite end is concaved in a way that it actually fits really decently in your knee if you are crouched already on the ground.
Let me know your thoughts!? Thank you!!
Oh and I doubt they go together the mano seems too big

Well OG5 I’m not so sure but let’s see what others say, welcome to the forum.

It's definitely an interesting thing. If I came across it I would pause and wonder.

I think it's natural because angle were the side meets the bottom seems too abrupt to be worn or ground and the 'pecking' looks sort of crinkled in a way that's different from stuff I've seen in photos.
My hunch is that it was formed by rock cooling in some kind of mold.

Of course I may be completely wrong - which would be wonderful.

Either way I really appreciate everyone's responses 😀

Anyone else have any thoughts?

Sorry I think both are natural water worn stones

Don't think that is a metate it would be smoooooth with no ripples. The other stone may be a mano, may be a water worn rock, hard to tell. But keep on looking, artifacts are out there and it's obvious you have the fever!
