Welcome to the board neighbor! I am also from Michigan. If you get a chance post some pictures of what you got tumbling so we can see how they progress. Are the river rocks from a local river?

Yes, the creek cuts through my back yard on it's way to the Muskegon RIver, so don't have to travel far for stones. Even find the occasional pudding stone down this way...

We just finished a new batch of pudding stones last week. I should be able to post pictures of those later today. They are a pretty difficult rock to tumble due to pitting where all the different materials are fused together. We actually run ours in 60/90 for a full 4 weeks. heres a link to our post that shows our first attempt at puddingstones but we were not real happy with the polish we used on these. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=trtphoto&action=display&thread=49107

Good to see another Michigander (and don't call me a Michiganian!)!
