I'm Marc, from the Ottawa area (Canada). I've been collecting rocks from the Great Lakes for about a year now and have collected from Huron, Ontario and most recently beautiful Superior (northern shore). I have many varieties of rocks all of which are in individual containers by Lake (collected from) and not very pretty to look unless wet.
I have so much to learn in terms of tumbling, I feel this is going to be an overwhelmingly but interesting new hobby.
A few weeks ago I got hold of a kids tumbler which broke down after 3 weeks - guess I got what I paid for (yup $2) :-) and just yesterday decided to get a Lortone which should arrive very soon.
Looking forward to learning and chatting with everyone about tumbling.
Cheers

Welcome aboard Mark. When it comes to tumbling you're right. You get what you pay for. You'll be much happier with your Lortone.
Post some pics of your rocks. Both before and after tumbling. We like pics on here. The more the merrier.
