We are a semiretired couple from the Peace River area. As a young boy I used to collect and polish rocks. I miss it. My Mrs. is always searching for agots and she is very successful. However, when I search all I spot is nails, screws, and broken glass. I must refine my skills. I know my Mrs. has a "rock hound" character just under the skin so I bought her a tumbler for Christmas. We talk about it all year and it wasn't until the 21st of December when I remembered that was what I was going to get her as a gift. This tumbler has a 12 lbs drum which should get her a good start. Looking forward to reading and learning the hobby.

Thanks from both of us. We have friends all across Canada and some in the USA(Arizona, Ohio). Looking forward to the 3 feet of snow to melt. I will trade ore back and forth, but for now I only know of a prehistoric sea bed to collect fossils from. We will definitely pay more attention to the earth we walk on.
