Hi I'm new, Just wanted to say hello, I just found this awesome group. I have been collecting all kinds of rocks shells fossils for years and finally pulling out my tumbler to experiment with some ideas.
I just put in some Florida rocks found on the beach, a few fossiled shells and a couple stones I'm not sure what they are maybe quarts.
I'm hoping they all get along in the tumbler. Any tips or posts regarding what I can and can't put together in the tumbler would be helpful. I keep getting side tracked.. look squirrels... oh wait rocks!! Says the girl with 3 lbs of rocks in her pockets!

Welcome from Midwest Missouri.
Generally you want rocks of similar hardness on the mohs scale together. the harder rocks will bruise and break up softer rocks.
