I didn't get a chance to take pics of the rough... so today I decided that I'd go through the whole thing and see what was done and what needed more. While Las Vegas is normally pretty nice, we completely clouded over this afternoon, so even though its 54F/12C after a couple of hours of playing with wet rocks my fingers felt frozen through. So here are some pics... Everything had been rolling for two weeks in the 15 lb tumber. With some of the rocks having been going for a week in the smaller tumbler, before joining the rest for 2 weeks. The whole batch before I sorted them These guys are ready to move on These guys went back into the coarse grit. And a couple of particularly cool rocks I saw as I sorted... Hopefully the pics will work the first time... thanks for looking!

My problem is I'm using flickr instead of photobucket... so the general instructions work...but there's at least 5 different URLS for the pictures... and I'm just now figuring out which one will work here.

YEA !!!! Is the first batch the sweetest? I didn't think you had that tumbler that long already. How time flies... I ordered my 15# and a 12# on Tuesday (I think) and can't wait! It will give me something to do while I try to find saw oil

I've only had it 2 weeks... so they haven't gone through the whole polish... but they do have quite a sheen when wet
