Hi All! I thought I'd introduce myself since I actually posted in another thread. I've been lurking for the last month or so. I've been enjoying all the pictures and absorbing as much information as possible. My name is Kathy and I live in Houston, TX. I have an eight year old son. He likes rocks, so I bought a tumbler about six weeks or so ago. I bought some rocks off of eBay and we've been having fun with that. Rocks seem to be addicting though. We've been on two rock hounding trips with a local group recently which has been lots of fun. I never thought that I would enjoy digging in dirt as an adult, but it's like a treasure hunt! Anyways, I'm a full-time student and do transcription work from home. I home school my son as well. I wish there were somewhere closer to the Houston area to find rocks, but it seems everything is at least an hour and a half away. The trips we went on recently were 3+ and 4+ hours. Though I have fallen in love with the Hill Country area!

Welcome aboard Kathy, from an old goat in South Dakota.
You'll find lots of friendly and helpful people here. If you or your son have any questions, ask away. Someone on here will have a helpful answer for you.

You can find plenty of rocks a sand and gravel dealers, take your son and a 5 gallon bucket, sometimes they charge a small fee and sometimes it for free. Welcome to the forum!

Kathy, one of the reasons I like to go rock hunting is that I get to play in the dirt! Welcome from California! Pat
