The only interesting rocks I've found around here are some large pieces of fossilized wood. One piece is so heavy that it takes two people to pick it up.
There's an area just about 15 minutes away alongside a river that you can find lots of little fossils. The occasional megalodon tooth too I've heard. But those finds are pretty rare.
Have you ever stopped in at the chatroom over at mindat? There are some old miners that hang out over there. Good place to discuss rocks and minerals. One member, who sadly passed away not too long ago, even wrote a book about his adventures collecting over the years "The Mineral Gods Must Be Laughing".
I'm going to have to check that out. Mindat is a great site.
