Hello! I am new to rock hounding and tumbling. I am a science teacher and lover of all things outdoors. I started rock hunting to spark an interest in geology among my students - but soon discovered a new obsession for myself! Petrified wood is in great abundance where I am from, and so far I have had great luck with tumbling it. However, I am finding that lots of my wood is a little too large for my 3 pound barrels and am considering purchasing the Lorotone QT12. I think that would be the perfect purchase to start the summer off with a bang!
