Hello,
I am new to the hobby, I am actually getting into it with my 10 year old daughter. we live in the Magrath area. We are excited to be here and are looking to soak up all the resources we can. I have searched the internet for PDF's and other how to's for my daughter she is autistic but loves to read and learn. when she sets her mind to it she will learn everything she can about a subject. I wish I could get my hand some some of the petrified wood and other goodies I remember seeing in my Grandmothers flower beds on the farm. I grew up not far from where they mine the ammonite. I have searched the tutorials but many links don't seem to work or would be over my daughters head. Any Links or PDF's or tutorials that would be good for a young beginner would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!
It may be easier for your daughter to watch some YouTube videos on the tumbling process.
They both have great tumbling videos. MeMiner is in Canada.

Welcome to the forum from South Dakota! I'm assuming you're referring to rock tumbling as the "hobby" for you and your daughter. I think that's amazing that you two have a a common interest! I don't know of any pdf's regarding tumbling, but here's a good pdf about cabbing: nassaumineralclub.org/pdf/howtocab.pdf

Welcome to the forums from the Desert Southwest! You have come to the right place for tutorials. They are all over this site. Have a search around when you have a chance.
[Edit] I like your Avatar name. Reminds me of a mountain bike shop which is located on the East Coast.
