Hi, from Central, LA. Quick history here. I bought a National Geographic tumbler from a Dirt Cheap back in December 2021 just for kicks and instantly fell in love with rock tumbling. I'm very new at it and learning a lot from this forum as well as Youtube. I already have acquired two (2) 3lb. barrels tumbler and just got my Lot-O in yesterday! It's almost like a good kind of sickness with no cure, if you get my drift. Looking forward to many years of tumbliing! Tim

Yes, it will show up as a message, maybe even to your e-mail account if you have selected that option. Welcome

It's almost like a good kind of sickness with no cure, if you get my drift. Looking forward to many years of tumbliing! Tim Welcome from Charles Town WV. (Think John Brown's pre-Civil War raid.) If you're looking for a vaccine, this is not the place to look.
OTOH, if you're looking to get 'sicker', then you've certainly come to the right place!
My wife and I have been unofficial rock-hounders for decades, but recently got into the tumbling aspect of this hobby. I have learned a lot from the folks here, but also via trial and error. Don't be shy about asking for advice/help.

Welcome from Central California. I was looking for a Lot-O the other day. I found 1 on Ebay with the price jacked up a bit (Maybe they've just gone up like everything else) an hour later it was gone. Where did you find one?

Where did you find one? I ended up getting one from the Rock Shed. I called and they just got some in that day, like winning the lottery!
