New member that has been lurking for awhile. Not new to rocks or collecting them,somewhat new to doing something with them :-)
Currently at the tumbling and drilling stage of the hobby (sure to head to slabs and cabs soon)
My wife makes hemp jewelry and uses my polished and drilled rocks in her designs.
My biggest problem is total lack of collecting spots in southeastern Michigan,so shows and vacations up-north become my collecting times.
My best find recently has been the fist sized Agate in the egg gravel outside one of my work buildings.Its amazing what you can find in the "decorative" landscaping rocks people use.
My next purchase will be a trim saw of some sort,probably one of the Workforce saws I see used around these parts.
Great forum here people!
Brian
