I just bought a tumbler the other day. Decided to give it a try and see whats up. I have a place near me in Evanston Illinois that specializes in fossils and stones of all sorts. I always thought it would be neat to start. Now I have to ask... What am I getting into? lol. Seems like it is way too addicting for a guy like me. I guess I will add it to the list of about 27 hobbies I currently have. he he he.
