I suspect the glaciers did more harm than good for rocks. For example, up here they ground all our gold to dust and scattered it everywhere. You can find gold all over the place, but it got so spread out you’ll only get a few specs.
It looks like Florida has several interesting things to venture out for including fossils, silicified wood, coral geodes, and agatized coral. I bet there’s an economical day trip you could make, and you don’t even have to wait for a spring thaw!
NW Florida. If I find a rock, it’s either a chunk of concrete or imported from elsewhere. Glaciers didn’t make it here. :(
This came from the New River, said to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. Older than the Appalachian Mountains where it starts and runs north.
Someone really dropped the ball when they named that river
