Hello everyone, I have just found this site and have already gleaned a whole bunch of tips and tricks--thank you!! I am Jean and have tumbled off and on for several years. Have a Lortone 33b that was given to me but have replaced most parts, as it was well 'aged' when I got it. These things last forever! Also just bought a Lot-O 4 pound. I really like it but it is in the dining room and 'has' to go out to the porch!! Someday I will have my own 'shed'. I live in a tiny community ( 1000 people) called Republic in Northeastern Washington State--we are only 30 miles from the Canadian border. We are in the mountains at almost 3000 feet elv. My better half, Bruce, gets in on the hobby as well. We have sooooo many places to go to rock hunt--It's fantastic. I also make jewelry and have used a lot of the tumbled rocks in wire wrapping. Want to try to sell some pieces at our local summer time market here. During summer there are a lot of tourists. Republic started as a boom town mining place in the late 1800's and a lot of people still mine here as a hobby--we also have a Canadian firm called Kinross that has a huge mining operation just north of here. Oooops, didn't mean to carry on so long---Good rock hunting, tumbling and vibes--Jean ;D

Oooops, didn't mean to carry on so long Actually, I enjoyed that introduction. It's always interesting to learn a little about other places, especially the ones that I didn't even know existed. If you're able to post pics, please do so.... a lot!! Welcome to the forums
