Joe, I'm no expert on this stuff, but they appear to me to be of iron origin.
If it is iron that has had manganese added to it to make it harder with use, that would make it even more recent in origin as I understand this stuff.
Shape and hole placement suggests to me to be counterweight with their precision hole in each piece, and like String said, "intentional shape."
They might have been used for ballast as well and holed simply to make them easier to carry to the floating vessel.
Did you think to re-scan the hole from whence you dug up these two items? They could simply be deliberate misdirection type of iron items.
I'll stay tuned for others' ideas.
Very nice photographic images. Thanks for sharing.
