Hi all , here are the promised pics of the big barrel and my beachwalk looking for pet wood.
enjoy
Big barrel just opened up after beachstones 1 week in 60/90 grit
stones tipped out
rinsed stones
crumbs remaining
Visit to the beach behind the aluminium smelter at Tiwai point...key requiered to open the locked gate.
We went with the 2 of us , looking for pet wood but found none among theother rocks. Anne is a member of the Hokonui rockhound club in Gore
from the beach looking to the town of Bluff and Bluff Hill
The chimney of the aluminium smelter in the distance
The rocks I collected...there is a lot of quartz there, some jasper , june agate , orthoquartzite and others
june agate
banded quartz
and another neat looking rock
I accumulate the rocks in buckets , in the blue bucket they are ready for the next grit, have all had 60/90.
In the steel bucket they need doing again.
Still waiting for extra barrels to handle the workload.. collected too many rocks haha.
I installed a twintub outside my rockingroom and dug a small sump hole to take the sludge and water

How many pounds does that hold? That June Agate is beautiful ... umm yeah, me wants some too *smile* What an addiction, I want some of every rock I see, like that banded quartz, that's really cool. Thanks so much for taking the pics, it's just great to see what things are like over on the other side.
