Looks like a metal strainer, They are known for leaving silvery markings on your rocks.

Looking great Joshua. You didn't want to round them more in step 1 ?

Nope jamesp, but I finally placed my Kingsley North order for some 46/70 grit, as well as some more 60/90 and some various agates. I actually pulled out a bunch of pieces that will get recycled, and moved on the ones I felt like were "smooth" enough. I've got a new 12 lb barrel made up of the recycled pieces, and a bunch of saw ends, broken slabs, etc that will be ready go to next weekend, after my 46/70 gets here. Then we'll really do some shaping!

I was being nosy Joshua. Southern tradition, you know, to be well rounded. How far are you from Valdosta where the Withlacochee River is loaded with petrified coral ? Best spot to collect is below the Clyatville-Nankin Bridge. Must have kayak/small canoe. I'll be headed down there when the day temps are 90+ and the river is below 250 cfs.

If I didn't want questions and discussion, I wouldn't post stuff on here. I'm a long way from Valdosta, about 5 hours, unfortunately. I do have a canoe and a kayak, though. Let me know if you are planning a trip. Do you have any pics of the coral? I'd love to see some rough & finished product.
