Heartland Artifact Auctions, Inc.

Heartland Artifact Auctions is a specialized auction house dedicated to the responsible buying, selling, and consignment of prehistoric and ancient Native American artifacts, Pre-Columbian relics, and related collector items. Since our founding in early 2016, Heartland has built a reputation for integrity, transparency, and deep respect for the cultural and historical significance of the objects entrusted to us. Our mission is simple: serve collectors and consignors with above-average customer service, meticulous attention to detail, and a firm commitment to authenticity.

We host weekly and monthly auctions featuring a wide range of genuine relics and collectible material. Our offerings span traditional prehistoric artifacts such as arrowheads, bannerstones, celts, birdstones, gorgets, pendants, pipes, axes, masks, plummets, discoidals, fossils, and pottery, as well as carefully curated collector categories including Pre-Columbian artifacts, historic and ethnographic art, decoys, beadwork, vintage weaponry, and high-quality display frames and cases. Each auction is assembled with the collector in mind, balancing educational value with market demand.

All Heartland auctions are published on our proprietary platform, allowing us to maintain direct relationships with our bidders and consignors. Select monthly auctions are also listed across multiple third-party auction platforms to broaden exposure and maximize realized prices for our sellers. With more than 50,000 approved bidders worldwide, Heartland provides consignors with immediate access to a highly engaged and knowledgeable collector base.

We strongly encourage bidders, especially those new to Native American and Pre-Columbian artifact collecting, to ask questions prior to bidding. Education and transparency are core to our approach. Our team is always available to clarify descriptions, discuss provenance when available, and ensure that each bidder feels informed and confident throughout the auction process.

For those looking to sell, Heartland welcomes both long-time collectors and individuals who have inherited collections. Our consignment process begins with a simple initial review of photographs and descriptions. Once our specialists determine the items are a good fit for our audience, we issue a consignor agreement and guide sellers through each step. Consignors ship their items to our secure warehouse, provide item descriptions, and benefit from a streamlined process designed to move material into auction efficiently and get consignors paid promptly.

Buyers and sellers come first at Heartland. We offer competitive consignment rates, clear communication, and a business model that places authenticity at the highest priority. Whether you are acquiring a single prehistoric point, a Pre-Columbian relic, or selling an entire lifetime collection, Heartland Artifact Auctions is committed to making the experience professional, straightforward, and trustworthy.

We are always open to new opportunities, collections, and conversations. If you are interested in buying, selling, or consigning artifacts, we invite you to get in touch and experience the Heartland difference.
