Hello and welcome to my post.
I wanted to share another hobby of mine that I really enjoy. I am kind of new at this but hit has many benefits and the end product is beautiful.

Now most of these were found on the Oregon Coast between Tillamook and Yachats Oregon, up and down hwy 101. These are the ones left that I tumbled a couple were my brothers. I have buckets of ones I have not tumbled yet. But here is another look.

The standard three grits for tumbling rocks are.60-90, 150-220, and 500 then the polishing compound then finally the soap . The following diagram shows how much to use.

It is recommended that you tumble ech grit 7 to 10 days each. Making the entire process take anywhere between 35- 50 days " it is up to your preference", when I tumble I do it for about 40 days sometimes longer.

Some of them I left the way they were, others I cut and smashed with a hammer to see what was inside.
Check it out.

So I would recommend this for anybody. You get to get out, and you get exercise looking for the ones you want to tumble. Then when they are all done they are beautiful.
Ok one last look..... Ready?
