Hmmm, sounds like they're probably an inexpensive dynamic mic. What you need is an adapter that will take the two 1/4" mono plugs from your mics and convert it into an 1/8" stereo plug for the mic input on your PC soundcard. That will get you both mics, one in each track of a stereo recording. I just did a quick check on the Hosa website, and I didn't find one exactly like that. But you should be able to get creative with cables and adapters from Radio Shack and/or Hosa.
If all else fails, just record one track and then duplicate it for the other channel once you have the file in your PC software. That may be all you need for your purposes.
