It's not too hard to guess that this quote is about gold, buried under/in a mountain, so that suggests 'The Hobbit' as its source. Since my time is short, unfortunately, could you please tell me if that's the right book in which to search for it?

the quote is indeed related to the plot of the Hobbit, and it is a hobbit who doth quoteth, but one should look for it in the FoTR

That must be the stone that marked the place where the trolls' gold was hidden.
