Hmm these rocks looks very familiar 🤔
You picked some good ones. Some unakite, quartzite, looks like maybe some banded chert and even some slag on that little green one.
Nice to see someone from my neck of the woods.

Nice to see someone from my neck of the woods. Thanks Chad. Most all these were found between Van Buren State Park and Pier Cove. I went to Pilgrim Haven to hunt 4-5 weeks back for the first time, but I didn't own a tumbler then. I'm sure there were several I would have kept knowing what I know now. The Unakite is really surprising to me. Beautiful when wet, incredible when tumbled. I'll set these aside and finish the others I have and combine the results to fill the next barrel. The new Lot-O was delivered today, too, so I have to get it all mounted and set up in the meantime.

Just testing a larger linked image here: You can also edit the size of your pics this way: - Post your pics (or you can do it with the post you just replied to me with) - Go to "Edit Post" - At the bottom of the box your post is in, click on the "BBCode" tab. - Look for the link of your picture - it'll be something like: img style="max-width:100%;" alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52517321502_4558c24de0_h.jpg - Where it says "max-width:100% - you can change that percentage. Like in the picture you just posted, if you change that percentage to 60% or 70% it would be a great size...not too large...not too small.

Those look amazing! Lots of pretty colors. Can't wait to see them after final polish. I'm hoping for a Lot-O for Christmas. Fingers crossed!

Finally done, at least some of them. Some others are back in 60/90 grit for another week, but the Lot-o sure delivered! This was my first ever batch thru polish in the Lot-o.
