I've used well over 100 bags of Rockwood and had never found a rock in any of them until today. No big deal but what a surprise!

    It is kind of like finding a pearl in an oyster.  I have a few diamonds I found as well.  I am pretty sure he over fills the bags, as this will happen in any lump process....

    It’s good luck to find a rock in your Rockwood.

    Edge of my lot has gravel/rocks. I just chuck any from the bag and consider it a win. 

    Rusty wire, that’s when I’m a little ticked.

    The barbed wire is hard to get out.  Trees grow around that stuff, then those are the pieces that get rejected by the mill.  Most likely even after the kilning, that wire is still encased in the charcoal, which means it's too heavy for the magnet to grab.  The magnet does a good job of getting strapping/banding and nails, but that's about it.

    Damn, I've never gotten barbed wire.  I feel cheated.
