4th Gen Help with Heart Scales

[Fallon758]

I am currently doing a regular run of HeartGold, and I cannot seem to find any heart scales. I have been smashing the rocks in Cianwood City for two hours now and have found not a single heart scale. I have an old walkthrough book for the game, and it said that they should be relatively common, yet I have found three star pieces and not a single heart scale. I need to know if this is normal, or am I just incredibly unlucky, and if there are any easier ways to do this. Thank you.
