Dirt Barbie here for the first time. I'm looking forward to gaining knowledge from you all, and I'm glad to have a place to share my rock hounding experiences and questions!
I live in the Adirondack Mountains where stunning stones are aplenty. Relatively new to the rock hobbiest scene, I've recently started tumbling local finds with my boyfriend. Isn't rock hunting with loved ones so wonderful?
We're equally joyed to see the results of tumbling as we are to be immersed in the process, so happy to be sharing in our next step of rock geeking. Who knows what will be revealed.
We're using the Diamond Pacific mini-sonic tumbler as well as the Nat Geo rotary one. So fun <3
Once we have a more solid understanding of the tumbling process, we'll be working with our more precious finds as well as stones I've found in Greece!
Anyways, hope things are going smoothly with you all. More to come!

Back then, we were managing an old ADK camp, and not much time for rock hounding.
So I have to throw it back on you- show me the rocks I should have come away with
