Have only just started tumbling rocks, really having rough time finding anything nice. I live in Alabama, but I am willing to travel. I have an 8 yo son, and he's the main reason I decided to pull the trigger and get involved in rock hunting and polishing. I want him interested in natural sciences, and this has really worked wonders. He and my wife and my oldest daughter (16) go with me every weekend somewhere looking. So I love it! We all do. And learning a bunch, albeit the hard way, lol.

welcome to the forum from North Carolina. There is plenty to learn on here, and quite often, the other members have incredible deals on different types of material in the forum marketplace. You are in the same boat as I am. I can't just take a stroll and find anything interesting to tumble, so it's nice to find stones from all over for sale right here. Happy tumbling.

Welcome from Michigan. I might be able to help with tumbling, but I’ve never been to Alabama, so I don’t know how to help you find rocks.

Welcome from Colorado. I've got you covered if you make it out this way, unfortunately I can't help with Alabama locations. Good luck and happy hunting!

Welcome from Northern CA To me, the real joy is always in the family time spent together out in nature. Kids grow so fast and before you know it... If you will allow me to I'd like to send you a small variety-bag of rocks for at least a tumble load depending on the size of your machine. Drop me a private message if this sounds like fun.
