hi everyone i found this site while trying to identify some tumbling rough. didn't have any luck there, but found you guys/gals, and that was worth the search. you must be the nicest group of people on the internet! everyone is so helpful to everyone else, everyone has such nice compliments on others' pieces - WOW! i didn't think there were any decent sites to be found these days, what with MYSPACE and .... well, i imagine you all know. anyway, i just got started tumbling. always wanted a rock tumbler, but my little sister got one instead. 25 years ago. turns out it turned up, and lo and behold! it still works (thumler). then i found a great deal on a double tumbler on ebay so i got that one too. read up on how to use them, but still in the learning curve. also trying my hand at learning how to wire wrap - some really beautiful stuff out there - plenty of ideas to play with. anyway, i decided to join just because you all seem so nice and i enjoy looking at all the beautiful rocks you have. look forward to getting some great advice and making some new friends.

Welcome! You'll find that we're also a pretty good resource for IDing as well. We can generally spot the common purchased material, at least to the basic category.

Welcome to the board. If your experience is like mine you are going to have a blast with the board. I have already gone in two trips with members of this board...my collection of rocks went from a handful to more than I can store in my backyard. If you ever decide you want to trade rocks from CA, let me know I can get you rocks from other areas in the West coast including Utah, Oregon, and AZ. Ozzy H. Orem, UT Good luck and welcome
