Anyone have any input on my pictures?? please help. I drove an hour away today to a mineral and artifact museum to only find out they were closed. Then went to a mineral store and the guy was trying to charge me 15 dollars per rock just to look at it.:( i didn't do it obviously. I just want some feedback.

Reminds me when I 1st started hunting. Just so you know there is no place I know of that will have them just littered all over the ground. When I go out I am lucky to find 1 nice hard stone a year and 1 nice worked point a week or longer. What you have there is a pile of rocks.

Really? #21 has snapping marks all over it so it looks worked. Are you guys sure? Please take another look at the closer pictures I put up.
and btw, I know they are not littered all over the ground. Ive gone to many different places over the past year. I don't pick up every rock I see...

# 13 is definitely not "withered rock" because of the shape

#20 Found in Vermont. Has perfect finger placements like if it was once use to crush something. Bottom is flat and the stone is very hard.

#6 was found in Vermont. The reason I believed it was an artifact was because of this picture ( with the pink background) I saw online. Its how they used to shape their arrows. The rock that I found is a similar shape, and half of it is broken off. You can tell by one side being flush and the other cracked.

Sorry, while some of those resemble the artifacts you speak of, those are all natural stones.
Grim Reaper is correct all are natural rocks you can't go off of shape , Mother Nature can form any shape you can think of.

I have a rock and mineral/fossil store near me, he used to charge $10 to examine a rock. The NJ state museum had Indian relics before, best to go on the weekend for traffic. Do you metal detect? Sometimes you can do both, keeping an eye for odd shaped rocks while swinging your detector. Fossils can be found too, even in those larger river stones they use for landscaping. I've found shell fossils in many of them, nobody looks at them, golf ball to larger sized stones.
