Are these pearls?

While working in Grand Isle, Vermont, doing cable tv construction, I discovered my 3 pearls at a base of a telephone pole. Looks like there was a tall tree in the way of pole line so they cleared the tree. I think maybe a bird or something had mussel up in tree and discarded them. I was lucky to pick them up. Still having problem finding out if real. Feel gritty on teeth so i think they are real.
