AgateHunter says hello

Hello every one,

I have always liked rocks.
I had a rock tumbler when I was a kid, but I do not know what happened to it.

My family and I where on vacation last August on Lake Superiors north shore.
I bought a book called "Rock Picker's Guide to Lake Superior's North Shore", at a store.
In this guide it has lists of beaches of where to finds rocks. I went to one of the listed beaches and found some nice rocks. I also found a few small Lake Superior Agates.

I purchased a Lortone Model 33B at a rock shop on the north shore.
I also just purchased a Chicago Electric double 3 lbs tumbler.
I plan on ordering the Thumlers Tumbler Model B at Kempf Gun Shop. What a great price. ;D

I now have a table set up in my garage with both tumbers going and a cabinet with all my supplies in it.
I also have many plastic tubs full of rocks.

I pick up rocks when I have a spare moment at work. I work for a large manufactured home community with vacant land.
I seem to find at least one Lake Superior agate a day.

I have learned a lot from all of you, and find the information posted here of great help. ;D
