Hi there all I would like to know if someone out there would drill a small hole in about five small rocks for a fee. I would send them to you and the fee plus shipping back. I do not have the means to drill. Those rocks are polished. I live in TX.
Thanks

I would offer to drill them for you, except I have NO experience drilling rocks, and would hate for someone else's rocks to be my first drilling job! You would probably hate it too. ;D
You know you can get a dremel and dremel drill press set up for around $100, maybe less. I got my dremel for $25.00 - big sale at the hardware store and a $10 rebate from Dremel. The drill press set up was $48.00 or so at Home Depot.
I bet there is also a rock shop down your way that would drill them for you. If I remember correctly, you are from the Houston area? Here's a list of rock shops in the Houston area.
Crystal Castle, 228 Westheimer Rd, Houston, TX, 77006-3222, 713-526-6165

I used to live in Houston - left there in '76. All these street names are sure familiar to me. ;D Used to go down to Kemah and eat seafood - yummy!

Thanks for the info. i am going to call some of the Shops to see if thay will drill the hole for me. I hope to fine someone to do it. If someone was to do the job I would understand it something wrong. I would just get some more rocks to try. Well thanks.
