Some of you might have seen the post last month by Rockds offering his extensive tumbling setup free to one lucky person for just shipping cost. Well I was the lucky rock dude! Here are the boxes as they arrived. It was like Christmas morning with packing peanuts and bubble wrap everywhere. He didn't just give me tumblers. He also included grit, polish, plastic filler beads, rough stones, stones polished at all stages plus a special bag of stones ready for polish. I have been a tumbling fool and will post some pictures of my progress. Thank you Robert from the bottom my heart. You are a true Rock god! Cookies are coming soon Santa! Stay tuned for more pictures. Kevin

That's really cool!! I must admit, I'm sorta bummed to see him show up after all this time and then leave again but he did pass on some amazing stuff that I'm sure will get used once again. Be sure to post pics of your future tumbles!!
