Found these in varying places in eastern Lincolnshire, England. Two were found in regular yard gravel and one was found on the beach. (Smallest to largest: 1.7cm, 2.8cm, 3.3cm)

Welcome to the Forum! :)
I suppose, they are Belemnites rostrum fragments. The one at the top of your first picture may have boreholes (pholad borings).
Please wait other opinions.

+1 Belemnites. Nice finds. A marine animal similar in appearance to a squid. Some species of this genus reached a length of 28 inches (71 cm). Keep looking where you found these. They frequently died off in bunches. Common from the Late Triassic to Late Cretaceous.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
