Hi, Today I bought 4, five gallon buckets of end cuts and scraps for $75. Probably 40% can be cabbed and 60% is bound for a tumbler. This is very very good rough, all jaspers, agates and pet wood. I sorted out 1 1/2 buckets for myself and wanted to see if people need some tumble rough as now i have WAY to much for me to tumble in a lifetime (10 gallons worth!) . Here's my idea if people are interested. First, you pay for either a small USPS shipping box ($5.00) or medium ($10.00) to my paypal account. I pack the box to overflowing and mail it to you. You get the box and inspect the contents. Once you see what I've shipped YOU deiced what it's worth. If you think it's worth nothing than you pay nothing! No questions asked and no hard feelings. If you think it's of value, as I did when I bought it and even more after I cleaned it, you then send $5, $10, $15 or $7.38 to my paypal account. So to be clear, you pay shipping $5 (small) or $10 (medium), then I pack the box and ship. Once you get rocks look them over and decide what they are worth and pay me nothing or what you think they are worth. Either way the rocks are yours. There's probably enough for 8 medium boxes or 16 small boxes or some mix between the two. My palpal is under my e-mail; tfields33@yahoo.com. On a side note, if there is a person or two who is having a hard time in this economy send me a pm. I'd want to send you a small box of good tumble rough. This is not charity, it's pay it forward. I'm not to proud to say I've had helping hands in my life. Tim Dirty as I bought it, Washed off

Hi Tim, This is quite an offer. I would love a medium flat rate box. I sent a PM for your email address. As soon as I receive that I will pay paypal. Many thanks to you for this great offer. Tanya

Hi Tim,
I'll take a medium box - I will pm to get paypal payment info.
My 7 year old daughter and I are just getting into tumbling (we wore out the Smithsonian tumbler she got as a gift, so we have Lortone 3a that is going on week 2 of rough grind for its first batch), and she's going to love sorting through the box.
Thanks,
Nick

Looks like I can cram 19 lb's into each medium box so with two gone I think I'll only have three more boxes I can pack. I just weeded out most the rock I don't think will tumble well (obsidian's and such) or can be cabbed which left about 7-8 gallons. Glad you got a new tumbler Nick! You and your daugter have a lot of tumbling to do . Tim

Tim,
I really dig the concept of what you're doing! Looks like some great stuff, too. I'd love a medium box for my wife and I to go through. It would be the perfect excuse to finally pick up a good tumbler.

Thanks Jacob, this should give you quiet a few loads for a new tumbler. I pretty sure I have enough to pack one more medium flat rate box but PM me first before paying. I also kept back one small box to give away if someone needs it, still no takers yet.

Glad you liked it Tanya and hopfully the other boxes will all arrive safe and sound. I coated them in tape so they should be fine.
Sorry, if others had interest. It's all gone now.
