yeh if you clean them well, boil the rocks.

I would boil any of it. If pesticides or the like were used they could have soaked into the wood. If they come from a river or such could have pollutants soaked in the wood or rocks could be porous. Anything from those environments can contain contaminents.

I know just trying to reiterate the possibility of contaminents.
