Hello all, newb here. I've always enjoyed finding rocks and treasures in nature. My wife recently has taken an interest in crystals and gemstones and I watched a few videos with her and then some more...until I decided how cool would it be to find these stones and rocks together. So It was only a matter of time before youtube learned me about rockhounding haha. A month later and I have 2 rotary tumblers and a vibratory tumbler on the way. I've done a few batches in my rotary and they are on there second go in phase one haha. Kingsley North and rock shed are where most of my money goes haha. Haven't made any real rock hound trips but very interested in heading up north to Michigan soon. 😀

Welcome to the forum from a fellow North Ohioan (east)...Sounds like you are well on your way with the hobby. Google Nether's Farm - Muskingum county - great place to find Ohio Flint.
