Hello Everyone names Matt. Im 33 from Mcminnville Tn. Recently got really deep into rock hounding after having a life long interest in rocks in general. Purchased my first tumbler little over a year ago. Had a blast with it until it burnt up. The barrels swelled and got stuck an motor burnt up. I'm looking to purchase a new one but before i do i want some input from seasoned veterans.

Welcome from Northern California. I like my Lortone rotaries and Thumler UV-10 vibe.

Welcome from NY! Lots of opinions to be found on tumblers. From good new models, designs to build your own, to people who have tumblers older than you.
