Yeah, Jean rockpickerforever , I don't even use grit! I fill up lot-o bowls at the river and start'em out in polish! Ok, maybe James oversold the gavels, a hair. Maybe the flu is clouding his memory? He did it, he got you to bite. Definitely a pro. He's good, is't he!

We are having the same rain situation as rockpickerforever. "Storm" two weeks ago was first I had ever heard of "atmospheric river". Neighbor has nine palm trees. Half the fronds in our yard. Big. We just drag them out to pile a few feet away from curb. Finally getting some weather !! Frost on roof frequently in the morning.

What a show! jamesp. Thanks for pointing out my pet bryozoan. Also like the sagenite and 9-10-18-20-21. 18 looks like Asian soup. Glad many like to tumble. I just like the final product. Thanks for posting. Thanks, Pat! Don't find many fossils on the SJ that are solid enough to polish. Most are too pitted. Glad you liked them!

There is probably mass Bryozoan chert upstream. Sure would like to find the vein that #18 came from.
Glad to hear California is getting pommeled by rain. You guys have been too dry.

#18 is also my favorite, James! The reds, yellows and other colorful ones are nice, too, but something to be said for fossils. Loving the veritable zoo (botanical garden?) of fossilized creations. They have just always struck a chord with me.
Followed closely by #9, the sagenite. I must like the sharp angles and contrast that catch my eye.
Great tumble, swell job on those, Jeremy. Man, you sure learned how to do that quickly!

Hate to be redundant but 18 is fantastic. Looks like a chick about to peck free from a transparent shell.

#18 Bryozoans- awesome. The woods and palms-awesome. The jaspers-awesome. The agates-awesome. Finish and photography-........... JC honey hole rises to the occasion once more. Who says Texans can't see to find fine rocks ? Thanks, James! Still finding different types of material out there. Very blessed to have the resource. I'll keep developing my eyesight.....

Great tumble, swell job on those, Jeremy. Man, you sure learned how to do that quickly! Thanks, Jean! Really enjoy this hobby and can almost guarantee you that I would not be tumbling if there were no RTH! The knowledge, equipment, and material that I have received from people on this forum made all the difference! The generosity of people here to share their experience with newbies like me, is very rare in today's world! It's very refreshing!
