Locket Horcrux

Abergoat:
There is no reason to believe someone can tell something is a horcrux
by just looking at it or even touching it. Since most fans  believe
Harry has touched the locket horcrux in OoP that lends  some support
that you cannot tell. <snip>

Mike again:
Yeah, and Harry had the Diary!Horcrux and didn't know what it was.
But, to be fair, at neither time did Harry know about Horcruxes, so
maybe he wouldn't know what to be looking for. I don't know how he
is going to know, in book 7, when he's actually found a previously
unknown Horcrux, unless it's obviously a founder's heirloom. If one
of them is "something of Ravenclaws", who's going to tell him that
Ravenclaw used to own it? <snip>

Re: the locket Horcrux, I have 100% convinced myself that the Locket
horcrux is the "a heavy locket that none of them could open" in
Grimmauld Place in OotP and that therefore Harry has touched it. I'm
also pretty sure that Kreacher has secreted them away in his den:

"Here and there among the material were stale bread crusts and
mouldy old bits of cheese. In a far corner glinted SMALL OBJECTS
and coins that Harry guessed Kreacher had saved."

for Harry than we know yet!
