Well, I guess the title says it all!
I've always loved cool rocks, but it's only been about six weeks since I've really gone off the deep end. Visited a beach in northern California, and just by chance, found some of The Coolest Rocks Ever. Since then, I've purchased THREE tumblers (harbor freight onesie and twosie, and a new to me but ancient Lortone QT-NR), grit from like six different sources, plastic pellets AND ceramic thingies.....and I may or may not have a little tiny vibratory tumbler on its way from eBay....
Like I said before, clueless but enthusiastic! And broke!
I have also added to my pile of Rocks I Must Have every few days or so! There are some fun finds both on the beaches and in the mountains here where I live in Washington state. I promise I only take them from where I'm allowed.
Ultimately I'd like to get in to wire wrapping some of these pretties to sell, to help fund my new addiction!!
Anyway....hi! I look forward to learning from all of y'all!!

Welcome from South Dakota!
I never thought I'd get addicted to hounding...but I start going through withdrawals as soon as I start the drive home from the search!
I'm still waiting to get my tumbler, but the one I specifically want, seems to be sold out everywhere online!
