Stopped at an estate sale yesterday morning before work and picked up a few cool things

Rock Rascal saw that works great!

Star Diamond tumbler that also works tho the first barrel is missing the inside cap. I think that barrel is original to the tumbler.

Couple small boxes of rough and some old colorful pottery shards.

Burro Creek and other pieces

Polka Dot, Montana and misc

Also picked up a few tools. $60 well spent I think

I'll post the shards on the fossil board tomorrow, off to spend some time with my kid. Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Nice find Beef! If the blue lidded barrel on that tumbler is thin and plasticky then it's the original one. A suggestion is to bolt on an aluminum plate that will line up with the knurled nut on a regular barrel and use a Lortone barrel. I did that and it works great. Those are sturdy tumblers that will keep up. I find it runs a little cooler than most, not sure why. Have fun!

Thanks guys. Steve I searched and found pictures Chassroc posted a few years back of the same tumbler. Looks like it had a white disc that fitted under the blue top
