Hi, I love rocks! My husband calls me Lucy! (hopefully most of you will get the reference). A few months ago while in Harbor Freight buying a grinder I saw a rock tumbler reaching out to me! It worked great for awhile but the motor has now seized up. (frowny face). By luck I found this website a few weeks ago. I am now waiting on delivery of a Lot-O-Tumbler thanks to the reviews on this site. I have also ordered a replacement motor similar to the one on the Chicago Electric - but not identical. I got through two final polishes before the motor seized. I have another set already to go sitting in the polish and water. I live near the Brazos river in Texas and have collected a lot of pet wood and many other rocks.I also recently gathered a lot of Cave Creek jasper in Arizona. The gem show in Tucson gave me a chance to pick up some other small pieces of different rocks. I think I'm good now for a few years! But of course that won't stop me.
Thank you for all the generous information here and your stories of your finds and results.
