Found this forum on google while looking up tumbling tips. As someone who doesn’t partake in social media what made me want to join this group was the wealth of information and also the positive vibes—the camaraderie here is quite impressive! As for me, I had a small rotary tumbler several years back that broke; I didn’t bother replacing it until it dawned on me that buying tumbled rocks on the internet at 2 am could not be nearly as enjoyable as creating my own small works of art. I love crafting and I love rocks so I’m not sure why this didn’t dawn on me much earlier! I also have been spending a lot of time in the mountains and have found a lot of cool material to work with (Big Bear CA). I’m not sure what they all are, but I am enjoying the research aspect of it. Although the rocks I’ve tumbled in my first batch are most definitely not going to win any awards, this whole tumbling experience has been a great way to make life a little more fun lately. I look forward to learning from you all and seeing all the cool stuff being produced. Jaime

Welcome from a fellow noob in Riverside County Ca. There is a post from a member who rockhounds around Holcomb Valley who was finding some nine agate/jasper type stuff. Go searching thru the field trips page for more info. You will get some itching to go digging after reading about and seeing pics of other So Cal members finds.
