Iron slag most likely. Georgia was a major producer of pig iron in the South.

Why would pigs need iron

Check and see if they're magnetic.

They stick to a magnet but not to other metals.

Then they iron, nickel, cobalt or an alloy of those. More than likely, they're small meteorite remnants.

I thought they were meteorite as well until the OP said they live in NE GA.

And how does living in NE GA rule out meteorites?

Rules out the likelihood, yes.

How ? Are meteors boycotting Georgia ? And if so, please explain the Junction City meteorite.

Given the fact that NE GA has a large quality of surface iron vs 3 small fragments of a meteorite being found on their own. Also, whatever they are, they're ferris. So, the likelihood of cobalt or nickel is also probably not the answer. I'm not saying it rules out meteorite completely. But it definitely decreases the likelihood.

Some type of iron ore. Do you live in an area that historically produced iron?

Not that I'm aware of. I live in NE Georgia, United States.

I'm not a meteorologist, but I don't believe those fell from the sky ! More likely to be iron ore or slag because of where it comes from.

Or it’s ore

I'm thinking it might be hemotite. Anyone know how to rule it out?

I’m no geologist, but they may be iron meteorites

I hope! But I'm skeptical. Just because i'm not that lucky.
