Hi everyone. My name is Nancy. We moved to Livingston Montana last April. We are an hour away from Yellowstone Park and go at least once a week.
Looking to get my first rock tumbler and checked out your site and decided I want a lortone 33b. Everyone seems so helpful and friendly.I will have lots of questions when I get going and won't be afraid to ask.

Welcome aboard Nancy...you are in such a great place. I spent 7 years in Great Falls,,my wife is from Shelby and I still have loads of good friends all over Montana.
When you are out there looking for some rocks be sure to keep you eye open for form diamond willow...it makes such wonderful and pretty walking sticks.
You should find some good agates along the Yellowstone River...and be sure to visit Lewistown and the sapphire mines around there as well as the ones at Phillipsburg.
Ruby Creek near Wisdon is a good spot to find some Rubies if you are lucky....

HiYa Nancy

Hope you enjoy the site, its full of info and helpful folks. I'm fairly new to the hobby but I do have a 33B and am very satisfied with it.

I'm envious of anyone that lives in a "Rock" state. I live in Mississippi and there is no such animal.

Green eyes are not my best feature.

Your the only member of the 700 club. Rank has its privilages.
