My name is Aaron, I live in Salem and I rockhound quite a lot. I have an extensive minerals collection, a rotary tumbler, a vibratory tumbler, a tile saw and access to a lapidary shop through my local rock club, the Willamette Agate and Mineral Society. With gas prices so high I don't go far from home, but there are ample materials nearby to keep me busy! I make freeform and standard size cabochons, cut thundereggs, petrified wood and other lapidary materials and I hope to start a booth at our local Saturday Market some time. That's it from me. *waves hello*

Hey Aaron...welcome. good to have another member from Oregon..I'm in Utah and always looking for members to trade rocks with. If you are interested. Right now I do a lot of tumbling, but I'm trying to get into cabbing.

Hi Aaron,
It sounds like you fit right in here. I started with 1 lortone tumbler for chirstmas. Now I have a double and a triple to go with it. I am attempting cabbing...lots of work needed there and I am hoping to get a vibe tumbler soon. Let me know what you think of yours. Fran

Welcome Aaron I grew up in Salem and collected many of agates from gravel piles as a child. Matter of fact I still have a jar full from way back when.

Lincoln City dweller here. Not too far away. The divide is at Grande Ronde. All the rocks from there to Salem are yours. And all the rocks from there to the coast are mine! And don't forget it! Don't let me catch you in my territory! I'm warning you!
