I have a multitude of artifacts, fossils, & rocks...etc.; Am now at the point I need to start sharing/selling them. None have been authenticated [by professionals], but ALL I have found myself..none are fakes, or have been altered in any way. A little mild soap used to clean some, nothing else. I will start posting some photos..always take close ups & all-around views --so if you see something interesting, ask & I'll repost more close ups & sides.
I would like any advice towards putting these out for selling. Any good, logical, educating advice would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you all!!
P.S. Pic.s posted here were found in the last month

Sorry, they are not Indian artifacts. Also "Today's Finds" forum is for today's finds. Moving to rock forum.

Thank you...I was advised of my mistake immediately, of which I did take note, apologize & tried to move the post, but haven't quite navigated the site, like a pro, yet. Appreciate your help. I'm still an amateur here...but it won't take me long...to catch up!

The first piece, in your first photo, appears to be a concretion. The page below is someone's sale page, but I chose it to show the many varied forms of such concretions. All your other pieces appear to be simply rocks, meaning they are not artifacts, and there is no real value for rock collectors that I can see.

They look like a bit of fun, I would pick up a few of those for fire-side display.
