I like that 3rd solo shot with what looks like freckles in a heart shape.
Did you find all of them?

Nice looking tumble Lunk! It really is amazing how many rocks a 12 or 15 pound barrel really hold! I just got some MMA slabs in the mail yesterday...but I can't wait to find a few out in the wild though!

I just got some MMA slabs in the mail yesterday...but I can't wait to find a few out in the wild though! Last time I weighed one of the 17lb barrels, it was knocking on the door of 22lbs. Lots of rock swooshing around in there.

Wow, so many interesting stones. The gold colored stone next to the three with Cheetah spots is unique.

I didn't realize they were so big until I saw them in your hand. Wow!
I like this one- it looks like a bowl of caviar.

Here are the main attractions of the next load. These plus a half of a gallon bag of mixed crushed rock I picked up walking around the job sight. I forgot to get a picture of it. It's a lot of MMA and a mix of pet wood and jaspery looking stuff plus ones I thought looked cool.

Very nice. I also am impressed with how many stones you can put in the machine. Thanks for posting.

Lunker, Can you share your process (steps) and what polish you use? The rocks look great! Thanks for sharing.

I run each stage around 2 weeks although that load I ran 4 weeks in course. I check once a week and add grit and filler as needed. I also use cat litter for slurry.

Pretty nice tumbles. They remind me of Brazilian agates.
