Im new to this site and wanted to know if anyone could give me any feedback on the rocks I have found, anything is appreciated!
Most are found in NJ.

1: Green and glassy, Maybe Obsidian?

Anyone have any input ?? 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.
 

Welcome aboard --# 6 looks like its been worked or flaked --good luck :icon_thumleft:
 

Scorpioqueen6 Some could very well be Obsidian, but then Obsidian is volcanic glass, more common out here in the North West, New Jersey?, I really do not know, others on the site may be of help, I would guess that a Geology site? Seems there is EVERYTHING on the internet. If so, and you are able to find out, I'm curious. On a metal detecting site? Although many are also involved in gold prospecting, they might have an answer.
 

Can't help with the IDs but - Welcome to TNet, from Nick in Connecticut! :hello:
