[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5143211, member: 220"] Yes you can sell them. There are shows all over the US. There’s a big one coming up in Pigeon Forge next month. There’s a bunch of social media groups too that buy, sell, trade. You can’t sell human remains though. At one time people were digging mounds and keeping skulls and selling them too. In the south there was a group of Indians here before the Cherokee that were cannibals. In their mounds they often had skull cap ornaments/decorative pieces from possibly enemies they killed. And ate. Anyways that kinda stuff is neat but can’t sell it legally. As far as picking them up, there’s a clause in ARPA that Jimmy Carter wouldn’t sign ARPA into law with them making the exemption. That exemption is...that it wouldn’t be illegal to pick up artifacts exposed by erosion. You can’t dig, sift, scratch the surface with a rake, or dive but there is that exemption for erosion. Erosion would be from water levels dropping, wave action, etc. This is even stated on the TVA website but they still try to make it seem like there’s a penalty. I carry a copy of the exemption highlighted but I haven’t ever had any trouble just walking. I also carry a trash bag with me though and pick up trash. And fishing lures. [/QUOTE]
