 Finding the limestone blocks is not always a matter of 'blind luck', but a matter of finding a pattern of limestone blocks. For my pyramid 2 diagonally-placed blocks were found in repeating pattern 6 tiles from each other. So if you think that you can see the pattern - you definitely should check if you are right, that can save you a lot of time and glass rods.

 Switch to F5 view and zoom most of the way out. If you are one of the lucky ones, you can see the repeating texture in the sand which should look like a checkerboard, kinda. Your job is to sink 400 boreholes in a 20 x 20 array, preferably with each borehole in the middle of each tile (not near the edge where the coordinate will change). For best results, keep your F3 minimap open so that you always know your precise coords. You can sink boreholes from your "Special" menu. Tapping F8 twice will get you the cartographers view, zooming this in to the max also works well for many people.

 You might want to turn on the option to make all buildings public before you start sinking rods. This ensures that anyone can tap your rod, which is handy when a lot of people help out. Note that it makes it possible for fiends to steal the rods, too, but this does not seem to be much of a problem.

 Stir up a batch of Endurance food. Ensure that all persons digging have at least 1 other person with Pyramid Construction 1 or higher. All of you proceed to dig on the same block. It goes very fast with several people and food. Example:
-person, +12 end: ~20 digs @ 40 seconds each => 12+ minutes per block 2 people, +12 end: 4 digs per person (8 total) @ 40 seconds each => 2.5 minutes per block
+person, +12 end: ~20 digs @ 40 seconds each => 12+ minutes per block<br>
 After the 8th dig (with 2 people, +12 end) for about 10 seconds there is an option to "Slide rollers under the block". If you wait more than about 10 seconds this option will disappear, as the block slowly sinks back into the ground. The option will reappear after the next dig, and will remain a little longer.

 '''Limestone blocks''' are just what they sound like—large (1x1 coord) blocks of limestone, from which [[pyramids]] are assembled.  They are dug out of the sand after first being located through a process involving [[Glass Rods|glass rods]], then pushed into a Pyramid Construction Site.
