      I have not found these myself. I have found rocks with other metals like iron and copper before.

      In school we are given rocks that have gold and diamonds in them though. Quite of few geologists that I know actually do find gold as part of their work.

      Diamonds are so rare even people working in diamond mines may never see a diamond in the rock their whole lives, you have to use machines to find diamonds typically.
