Well, it's been 16 days now and I still haven't had time to empty out my 15lb'er. Keep saying I get it done today, but one thing happens, then another, then I go to my little abode & hear it tumbling & say
uh-oh, I didn't do it again. What do ya suppose is going on in there & what am I going to find when I do empty it. I said last night I definitely will do it today - it's raining!!!!!!

Donnie

This was only round one with coarse grit 16 days!!!! BTW they are wet! Oh and a lot of it is stuff I got from Maddie! Except for the gravel. Had a really wonderful thick slurry!

No harm done unless the slurry becomes so thick that rocks stick to the barrel, rises up the side, and then falls down to crack against other rocks.

Diminishing returns, but there is still grinding going on.
