Been awhile since I have posted any tumbles. I did not stop tumbling just stopped posting pics after the whole photobucket issue. Here's a few to get back in the groove. A couple may be repeats that just went for a spin again to spruce them up. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. non-backlit 12. backlit 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. Thanks for looking Chuck

Looks great Chuck Drummond Island Rocks. Too many to pic a favorite, but some of the Bots are very nicely banded. Thanks for sharing. ETA: Sorry about the first post...had another tab open where I was looking at some Rob's Jugglerguy work. Dave

Those are all wonderful! Just when I thought I had found my fav, I looked at the next one shown...dang, I hate that. What a great job. It deserves one on my WOWWWZERS!

2, 14, 17, and 18 are my favorites. What is that rock in 17? Looks great Chuck Drummond Island Rocks. Too many to pic a favorite, but some of the Bots are very nicely banded. Thanks for sharing. ETA: Sorry about the first post...had another tab open where I was looking at some Rob's Jugglerguy work. Dave Hey, what did you say about me that requires you to apologize to Chuck???

Wow Chuck orry about losing al the great pictures from the Pee Bucket fiasco. Hated see yours and so many other members pictures drop off. Mel just lost all his too. I know its a lot of work but reposting as many as you can would be awesome. Deep, deep watery shine on these. What is the 4 th set of material that looks so dramatic?

Dave Hey, what did you say about me that requires you to apologize to Chuck??? #17 is Moctezuma agate. Wish I had a bunch of them. Bought a handful to tumble last year at show and they were priced per rock. I think $3 to $5 each for the rough. #18 is a killer 3 ounce laker. Might be my favorite laker (so far).

Not sure about #4 coloradocliff. Metallic stuff and not even sure that it is all one type. Sure took a shine though. Chuck

I know you had some before, I thought those might be scraps. Good Guess. I do have some Mohawkite but that is not what this stuff is. Mohawkite would undercut horribly in a tumbler. Very drastic hardness fluctuations in that stuff. Even cabbing it is a real pain. Chuck

Nobody picked #22 as a favorite. That one was my favorite.

I suppose in another post without the Bots and Lakers it would get more attention. I have been tumbling so many agates for so long that the unique rocks win me over.

ETA: Sorry about the first post...had another tab open where I was looking at some Rob's Jugglerguy work. Dave Hey, what did you say about me that requires you to apologize to Chuck??? I actually had first written, "Looks great Rob Jugglerguy ..." Upon hitting "submit," I realized that it was actually Chuck that had posted the rocks, so I had to make the change pretty quickly. Didn't want to insult Chuck Drummond Island Rocks by not accurately/appropriately acknowledging his work. I had another tab open, and/or I had just read one of your posts. Had a brain fart and thought these were your rocks at first. Dave

I know I'm goofy, but I like the Noreena. Have some of that and have never gotten around to tumbling any.
I know it doesn't get a shine like other rocks can, but I like the matte finish. Yours is killer for Noreena! Shinier than most I see.

Chuck I'm definitely flattered! Chuck buys better rocks than I do. I mostly tumble stuff I pick up myself. I'm a cheapskate. It's much cheaper to drive 5- hours to the U.P. and camp for several days to pick up my own rocks.

They are all beautiful, but gotta say that 18 is off the charts! Thanks for sharing.
