Now I know that everyone in the world has a quarry setup but I want to know if there is a different way to mine in a singleplayer world. I tried turtles and that worled fine until i relogged and all of them stopped. I do not know if there is any other cool ways to auto mine so if you have any ideas please help! Thanks in advance!

Turtles -- you can write or probably find programs that can resume gracefully.
RP2 Bore/Quarry -- You custom build the whole ship. Put it on frame -- block breakers lead the way and motors move it along. You can make them vertical, or horizontal. They run on a redstone and bluetricity. A simple timer can trigger the block breakers and the frame motors. The motors need a little bluetricity each move.
IC2 Miners -- Supply a drill and a scanner (5x5 or 9x9 scanner shape with the miner at the center). Mines a single shaft down, and will get any ores in the scanner range. Fortune on the drill will apply to mined ores, silk touch does not work. Runs on EU.
Steves Cart's 2 -- You can build carts to mine. They have good range... like 3x3, 5x5, and i think the largest is 7x7 or 9x9. and lays its own tracks. Runs on furnace type fuels.
Thaumcraft 3 -- Tunnel bore. Uses the enchants on a pickaxe and a wand and mines a circular tunnel/hole depending on which direction you point it. 64 block range. Fortune/silk touch on the tools will be transferred to the mining beam. Circle is 5x5 by default, but extends up to like 11x11 with wand enchants? Runs on thaumcraft environment energy
BC Mining well -- quickly mines a single shaft down.

YesThat sounds cool. Do they work well to restart on their own when I relog my world?
Personally, I'm a big fan of some of the less conventional mining strategies. I love the Arcane Bore, but I can see why most people don't use it more than once to see how cool it is. I also quite like the RailCraft Tunnel Bore, but a similar system using rails that is more effective is a Steve's Carts cart. Still, there's something so very charming about that giant Tunnel Bore machine barreling through the depths of the earth.
you need to have 2 motors - one pushing the first one back to place . so one motor pushes the frames and the other one pushes the first motor in place .
If you want something different, you could try the mining well/frame/turtle machine that DW20 recently built with Muggz.
