I have a full MFR box of odds-n-ends I have been collecting over the last year. It has lots of agate, some Blue forest petrified wood, other petwood, gary green, jaspers, some weird stuff, maybe even the stray cat. I will ship it to any new tumblers for the cost of shipping ($15). Note that none of it is AAA material and some of it may be junk, but I am sure there is some good stuff in there, especially if you are just getting started. I even put a few pieces of AA material in there just because. (Please don't ask if you already have a huge horde of rocks, I would like this to go to someone struggling to find "food" for their tumbler.) Have a great day.

I hope a newbie takes advantage of this.

*interested*
...but since I already do have some basic starting material, I'm willing to wait a day or two if some absolute newbie with no material at all steps up. If not, I'm certainly interested. (keep in mind though, I'm in Europe, so shipping might be a bit more complicated and expensive. I will understand if you decide to give it to a USA resident instead). Thank you, very kind of you!

Mark I'd like to send some to my two granddaughters in Seattle who have just started tumbling. Please tell me how to contact you and send a PayPal payment. Thanks

Do you only have the one box? As I’d love to have some of that to test out my new tumbler (on order!) I should be getting my brand new tumbler in the mail any day now, and I don’t have a lot of rocks to test it out yet (not much for variety for me yet). Though I am in Canada, I would gladly pay the shipping to get some different stones to try out!
Please let me know, thanks!

I would be interested. Total newbie here. I just started my second Step 4 in my lortone duo 3 lb tumbler. I have what I believe is mostly granite that I am tumbling. These are pretty rocks that I have collected from my brother-in-laws cottage on Lake Ontario. Would love to have some different material to try. Happy to pay shipping.

You know, I'd be willing to bet that some of us have hundreds of lbs. of rock sitting around the house.
Perhaps a small sampling of material would not be too hard to scrape up. Especially to help some folks that live in big cities, or areas of the country where good material is hard to come by!
Maybe you have a really smart idea there, Woofer! Implementing such an idea could be a little tricky though.

Hi minniek, I am sorry but the last time I shipped to our friends up north in Canada it was a real hassle with custom papers, possible duties, etc. It should be easier. Sorry

Hi lethornton, I may have enough for another box in a bucket out in the shed. Not sure exactly what is in there, but I will check and send you a PM
