Hello all!
New to Rock collecting and tumbling. Finally at the age where I can invest in a tumbler and enjoy the hobby of rock finding and polishing. I am not into selling or buying at this point, just seeing what I can find and make it pretty.
Looking forwards to learning and enjoying outdoor times. I am in Nova Scotia, Canada (The Valley).
Be well, stay safe!

Hahaha! He is from this area, whereas I grew up (I guess 25 was grown up?.. at the time) in Washington State, between Seattle and Bellingham.. (About the mid point betwixt the two locations) Thanks all for the welcomes! This area is quite old for mountains and such.. the things to find here can be quite interesting!

Yes! after collection for more that 30 years and never selling Rocks I find myself running out of space. The longer you are in the hobby the more stuff people give you or you find deals to good to pass up. Try to find a local rock club. Most have equipment you can use as a member and people that can tell you where to go to find stuff in you area. Glad to have you as a member.

Welcome from California, and good luck. Not a tumbler, but there are many expert tumblers here. You’ve come to the right place!

Nova Scotia has much in the way of rocky coastlines and cobble beaches. Many of those cobble stones are granite, but pretty granite at that. I had a blast rock hounding on your beaches. Show us your stuff when it is convenient.

Show us your stuff when it is convenient. For sure will do! =) It is just as beautiful as the west coast, for sure, in its own ways. I can not wait to see what we find!
