I'm a Montana rockhound with no tumbling experience. I got my first one yesterday and have been scouring the internet for information. I got a Lortone 3A and started my inaugural batch today, the set of rough that came in the box. I've been collecting rocks for 25 years, got my geology degree 7 years ago. Happy to be part of the community!

Welcome from the Desert Southwest! I wish I had thought to have picked up rocks along the way during life with the hopes of one day turning them in to something shiny like you did. I would bet that you have some real pretty rocks under all of those rough edges and stuff.
The Lortone 3A is probably a tumbler that 25% of us own. And asking for (or sharing) advice on tumbling is what this website community is mostly about.
