First one is a small nail/pin, spit on your finger and wipe it over the pin, then wiggle it woth a pair of pliers, if it's a puncture you'll see little bubbles, look closely. Don't disturb it further, ride to the shop and get it fixed as it's eminently repairable, but decide if the tyre is worth it or not, if there's only a little bit of life left in it probably not worth the effort.
The second one is a bit of stone or flint, rarely causes punctures you'd be unaware of as they don't seal well being an irregular shape, remove it carefully.
