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!
