Hello all,
I started tumbling rocks last fall as a fun thing to do with the kids since the oldest was doing "earth science" in school. They lost interest quickly enough, but I found myself hooked :-) (I'm sure no one here can relate at all......)
I've got about 12 lbs tumbling right now, still figuring out all the ins and outs of getting the right finish. Hope to move on to some shaping and drilling as time allows. I need to get better at identification so I can go out in the field and gather my own, right now I'm mostly working off stuff I have purchased online and at the Flagg show in Mesa.
Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you all online.

Hi! Welcome! I don't know where Chandler is, though it sounds familiar, but I am in love with AZ. I got lucky and had a bunch of business related trips there in the last 2 years and every time planned one or more rockhunt outings. It was a great challenge, solo rocking in the desert by a woman flatlander.... Are you telling us that you haven't been out rocking yet? Check out some of the threads about rocking in AZ, we are all jealous. Right now I'm entranced with sawing up wood that I picked up last May near Holbrook and Winslow.

Hello all,
I tried going out hunting by myself once, with mixed luck. So I'd love to get together for a trip beefjello. Thanks for the welcome everyone.
