Default What to do with Field Stones?

Yes. Rocks.

I helped clear out a backyard over the weekend and now have a truck full of field stones. They are just regular, random rocks used for backyard decoration.

Now, they are junk.

Where do I take this stuff?

Put it in the Buy & Sell. As you can see from this thread there was still demand for them years later.

Free rocks? Hmm, there must be a catch - can I return them if they aren't stony enough for my liking?

No refunds for insufficiency of stoniness as that is personal preference.

Yeah, I'd re-think the "I'm not going to bother taking pictures" idea. Notice in the thread I mentioned the rocks sat for a year. Then I posted a picture of what I did with them and they got snatched up right away.

I'll see what I can do. At the moment they're in a pile in my truck.

Wait a minute, I look at those pictures and I see that some of those "rocks" are actually logs of wood. Exactly what kind of shady scam are you running here?
