Hi everyone, I just signed on here to learn more about rock tumbling and participate in the discussion. A bit about myself, I started collecting rocks when I was a kid but as a young adult I drifted away from it and got rid of all but my very best specimens. I had this silly rule that I could collect rocks but they had to be small enough to fit in my pocket and they couldn't weigh down my hiking shorts :-) I've embraced my rockaholic side though now and have gone all out, buying a Lortone QT-66 and sticking all kinds of rocks in my backpack. It's not like they go bad or anything! My first batch is a mix of "large mixed rock" from the Rock Shed and some jasper/agate I've found in my travels. So far so good. I'm sure I'll ask questions down the line but I thought I'd just say hi.

Welcome to the forum. The nice thing about a backpack full-o-rocks is all the exersize. And the shorts don't fall off...
