We went to a rock auction today and got a whole 55 gallon drum of tumbling rough, someone has been filling this barrel for quite a few years and there is a very wide assortment of material in there. For RTH members, regular flat rate boxes as full as I can get them for $25.00 which includes shipping. That works out to less than a buck a pound. Some pieces in here are big enough to cut slabs or slabettes out of, there is also some smaller grit carrier sizes , a huge assortment of material, most will be in the agate/jasper hardness catagory. A great way to get cheap tumbling material. Satisfaction guaranteed!! Post here or pm me if you want one. A few pics of the material in the barrel Have a great day.................Tony

OOO I see some Texas springs pink limb cast, a few pieces of bruneau, and a lot of different jaspers. I bet there probably is even some morrisonite in that huge barrel.

You know, when you have big saws anything less than 6" in diameter becomes "tumbling material". LOL I see some pieces there that would cut nicely on a 10" saw. Great looking stuff!

Still have a little less than half the barrel left.
We got one of those ramps that has rollers on it and rolled it up it onto the trailer, after we unloaded about half of it into 5 gal buckets.
