Hello all After a recent trip to Lake Erie my 3 children and I have gathered stones from the beach and we have developed an interest in tumbling.We also live near a now closed glass factory where my son has been collecting chunks of glass that we would like to tumble.I stumbled upon this site and I must say it is very informative I have not yet purchased a tumbler but will be doing so in about a week.I'm not quite sure how to identify the stones we have picked up and not sure if they need to be taken thru the whole process or if we can skip a step or 2 considering nature has done quite a nice job of smoothing most of them out.Looking forward to our first tumble

Welcome. And if your son finds enough interesting glass, you can probably sell a bit here to support your new found rock tumbling habit.

Howdy folks and welcome to the best rockhounding site there is. The folks here are always willing to help out us newbies and they are darned nice about it. It is also a great place to buy or sell: I've done quite a bit of trading with folks here and not only have I been able to support my rock addiction, but I've met some really awesome folks. Once again, welcome.
