Indeed, there may not be a lot of rocks, but there are always COLLECTORS 
and CLUBS!

Mineral collecting is always what we make of it... I love taking the 
students to the basalt quarry, where they stand confused for a while, 
occasionally banging on a boulder with an Estwing hammer, whereupon the 
hammer usually bounces back.  As soon as I crack open the first pocket 
with calcite, aragonite, siderite, or "opal pearls," though, they spring 
into action with renewed interest.

I would imagine there is a lot more in Florida than most people expect.
