Just two layers of concrete block with mortar mix in between the
layers. Layers were spaced evenly by using 1/2 rebar
between the layers of blocks. Block are kept immobile by taking
1/2" rebar 24" length, digging a six inch hole using a bulb planter
and driving bar 8" into ground, then filling hole with concrete.
Placed layers of blocks over vertical rods and filled with cement.

I did the anchor about every second block.
Blocks are definitely not going anywhere. Just need to finish off
with a veneer and cap rock......

I'm building a stone wall, 20 feet long x 16 inches high out of
Concrete Block. I'd like to finish the surface with stone exterior
and have located a few local sources, but need some more information
about what to look out for. Any gotcha's or "wish I had done this"
out there.....
Also, is there an artifical stone veneer, possibly made out of
fiberglass, that could be used and
how would one go about locating this ???

How did you construct the block wall? and yes you can get artificial
stone, it is made out of lightweight concrete, look in the yellow
pages.
