I’ve always been fascinated by rocks, and have an endless collection of random rocks that I’ve picked up over the years. I live in central Ohio & would LOVE to learn how, and which rocks to tumble! I love smooth river rocks & how beautiful they are when they are wet! Apparently we are close to a place to find flint too! My husband bought me a tumbler from Harbor Freight. I don’t even know if it’s what I need! Any suggestions as to where to start are greatly appreciated!!

Welcome from Virginia!
You can post individual questions to the rock tumbling board. We've got some world class tumblers ready to help.

Welcome from Northern Arizona! Ohio flint is awesome and makes beautiful tumbles. I don't tumble, but I do enjoy seeing everyone else's shiny rocks!

Welcome to the form from Southern Nevada.
I have seen a lot of mixed reviews on the Harbor Freight rotary tumblers.
Look for rocks that have the same hardness, preferably quartz rocks such as agates and jaspers. You will have better luck with these.
