Hello all! I’m 40ish years old and always wanted a rock tumbler. I thought, I’m an adult now, I can buy whatever I want!! So I bought a Lortone 33B at the end of august. Just finished my first batch of tumbled rocks that I found on the Lake Erie shores. I’m hooked. My first grit “kit” I bought on Amazon. It’s already almost gone. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ So I bought 5lbs of everything from the rock shed. Great customer service there already!! I’ve got *all the plans* for my polished rocks…including making tiles for an outside table and tiling our new shower!! Can’t wait to see what you all are doing and learn from my (& hopefully your) mistakes!! I’m actually from Vermilon Ohio..about 45 minutes outside of Cleveland.

Welcome from Michigan's Lake Erie shore. We love photos, so you've made a good first impression. I grew up 1/4 mile from the lake and still live a short drive away. At around 37 years old I had a similar experience to you... I had a little plastic rock tumbler as a kid, and I've like rocks my whole life. One day I realized I finally had the time and money to buy real equipment. With all the equipment and rocks I have bought, I now have neither time nor money, but I do have lots of shiny rocks. Looks like you found some nice granite, quartz, and quartzite, and perhaps some chert and agatized fossils. Here are some of my tumbled rocks from SE Michigan. Many are similar to yours, I'm sure. forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/93989/mediocre-michigan-rocks-nice
