I have loved rocks for as long as I can remember and final got a rock tumbler ( actually 2 of them) for Christmas. I am having issues with my patience, lol but so far not any issues with tumbling. I do want to look into a better polish so I can get that glossy wet shine. I love finding unique rocks and trying to figure out what type they are.

Welcome from Middle TN! The patience thing really got me my first couple tumbles. With my koolstone kit, I was like stage 1 for 5 days on speed 3? Ok with me! Hahaha I have learned since then although it’s hard, having multiple tumblers with different clean out days has helped me though! Most of my first tumbled rocks have been put back through all the stages, especially once I got the right polish. I use the ao from rock shed and it has polished almost all of my rocks that have made it that far!
