Great results, and I would expect nothing less from you. You didn't disappoint.

Lol The ticket was to have a brush and a bucket of water. Then clean each and every piece before it goes in to the bucket Yes, that would be preferred. Instead, I left my well-filled spray bottles in the garage that day. I resorted to spitting, licking, sweating on and sometimes just guessing in order to high grade. My strategy was to surface pick a little from each pit until I found the one to my liking, then take my time there. There were plenty of golf ball to plum sized pieces available for the picking. I don't think most folks are there looking for tumbler fodder. For anyone who hasn't seen this place, there is a whole thread about our trip there, with photos.

Randy, you sure turned out an amazing set of tumbles! That one in #13 looks like a patch work quilt. I'm so glad this inspired you to get back to photographing and posting!
I've only tumbled a few pieces of the first, most of what we brought home was slated to be cutting rough. And after a slab or two the bearings went out in my saw and we've just never gotten it reassembled. But this has inspired me, I'm going to get on Paul to help me finish the rebuild!

Get that saw back online and let's see what you two pulled out of that pit. The slab you posted in the trip thread was a beauty, can't wait to see the rest.

Wow... fantastic group Randy. Your photography knocks my socks off every time and I love this post.
Would have been fun to have joined you guys but it wasn't to be.
