Hi everyone - well, after much talk over the years, I finally got a rock tumbler for my birthday! It's an older, two barrel Lorotone. Now the learning curve starts! LOL. Have a huge selection of rocks to choose from for the first go - I just have to browse through this forum and read up on rock sizes (what's too big, what's too small, etc) and all the other tips. I don't really expect too much from this first venture except the excitement of 'the first batch'.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Have been browsing the photographs posted in here (wow! Just ... WOW!!) and we are ready to start the 'virgin batch', lol. I have SO much to learn about rocks and I can see that a membership in our local Rock and Gem club is coming up fast. Also need to find out how people polish up large rocks. I have one that is just a bit bigger than a baseball but it is gorgeous and would really love to see that one polished up. But that is a learning curve for farther down the line, I'm sure! Will certainly be cruising this forum a lot though!
