First let me just say, "You people rock!!" I've been lurking here for quite awhile. My name is Mitzi and I live in Southern Texas. I've been picking up rocks since I was kid and now I'm finally doing something with them. Have a Lortone 33B now for about five weeks and it's goin' strong. I have learned so much from you guys and of course am already hooked. Already ordered and received from Rock Shed several pound of rocks. Have bought several pounds from one and only rock shop here and went to local decorative rock yard. They let me pick up whatever i want for .19 a pound. Found some pet wood there and others not sure what. Made the mistake of looking on E-bay. (big mistake! Ha Ha) Won first 2 auctions tonight. I fear many more to come. Hubby and I joined our local rock club. Now have access to a great shop and have met a great bunch of people. Will be taking a cabbing class at the end of July. Hubby is now doing research and will be building us a cabbing machine. Oh! I almost forgot. We bought a Work Force tile saw on everbody's recomendation. So add me to the list. I love cutting rocks on it. We have Geodes and other rocks picked up and bought in Demming, NM. (Geode Kid and Rockhound State Park) I love the surprise of whats inside. Dang! Didn't mean to ramble on. Rock On!!

Mitzi, Welcome to the board. Lots of fun here. Just remember, if it does not come out right the first time, "we have all been there", just try again. Check out my Fairburn Agate Page at: www.angelfire.com/nb/rockmansdgoldpanner
