We have about 41 of these VERY large, rectangular cut pieces of limestone. They probably average 5' L x 3' H x 4' W. Average weight is probably in the 10,000 lb range.
Is there a market for something like that? If so, where? Who would I call to find out about possibly selling these things? I don't have a clue.

Yes, I would start by contacting local landscape companies or local stone suppliers just to get an idea of what you have and what they are worth in your locality then decide how to sell them.
You could build a hell of a retaining wall out of them or split / cut them in to smaller blocks. Who knows, depending on the quality of the stone they could be used for carving as well.
It's the shipping that will get you. Maybe carve a few words on each one and send them via media mail?
Do you deliver , great start for a Bunker

Yeah, those definitely won?t fit in one of those flat rate boxes for shipping.
If your brave enough.....
I would so rent a crane and build a bunker or a tower out of them!
I'm sure someone has a use or a need for these things. They're accessible so getting them out, for someone who has the proper equipment, wouldn't be an issue. They're pretty cool, to be honest. Could definitely be useful for all sorts of things.
People have been telling me my whole life to go pound rocks...Quote:

If that doesn't work, find a PRS match director in your area, maybe they can build a stage and name it after you.
It's actually against the rules to put postage and a label on a brick or stone directly.Quote:

I'm not gonna get into a size competition. I'm just trying to get my rocks off...my property.
Contact the ACME company.

How did you end up with these things? Left over from construction excavation? Are they all roughly shaped like the one pictured?
Someone will be interested in them. Great boat anchor!
Pretty much all like the one in the picture...just slightly larger or smaller. They were on my girlfriend's property when she bought the place several years ago.
Apparently, they sell for between $100 and $600 per ton according to various websites I've looked at. There are 41 at 5 tons each we're guesstimating. Even at the low end they could bring in a few bucks to the right person.

Yeah, just call all of the local stone suppliers and landscapers and let them know what you have. Someone will step up.Quote:

If I had the ability, I'd use them to build a rock garden for own personal off roading obstacle. You could see if there is an off road park near you that would want the. There was one in Colorado but it shut down years ago. They had stuff like that.
Was that the one out east of town?Quote:

Yeah, C.O.R.E. You can still find it on Google and some YouTube videos, but the number is gone now. I was only there once. You can still see the rally track from the Satellite photos. I'd love to know who owns the property. I suppose I could look it up on OnX.
I always wanted to check it out but never did, I definitely had some worthy rigs back then.

The YouTube videos are all rally stuff. They had some dirt hills, and a huge rock garden full of concrete pipes and just busted up cement. It seemed like a good place to work the bugs out of a rig, but I couldn't imagine going all the time, which is probably why they went out of business.
Bailey, you could drill a hole through the center and make a cool water feature out of one, maybe. I guess if you screwed it up, you wouldn't really devalue it as a rock.
Someone, somewhere is looking for just this size and amount of 'blocks' for a retaining wall. Let us know how it goes, just curious.
I wonder how many of you know we have a town of Marble, Colorado.
What do they do, Marble.
