I get gunpowder, flint, and XP all the time out of gravel that I've placed. Not sure about other things. It's therefore pretty easy to powerlevel excavation if you have a nice deep mining shaft: place lots of gravel or sand by dropping it from the top, then go down to the bottom and hold down your mouse for a while.
