Default Where can I have ancient coins looked at?

We live near the beach (pacific side) in a rural area, and my son has
been finding some ancient coins that look, I don't know, greek or
roman, all different kinds. Where could I go to or whom could I send
the pictures to find out more about them? I've tried looking them up
on some of the coin sites, but could only identify one. One of them
has four horses and a chariot, but they are facing to the left, and all
the ones I can find are facing to the right. They are very interesting
to look at, and kind of neat thinking how old they might be.

Posting pictures might help in determining whether these have a chance
of being real ancient coins or not, but some copies are hard to detect
from scans. Are these copper coins? Are they small, say around dime
size? Is there a man's head on one side of most of them? Can you read
any letters on any of them?
