Here's Some Rocks Out Of My Tumbler (5 weeks tumbling) I Collected Digging For Gold

[John-Edmonton]

I just never lose my sense of "aw" when I see tumbled pieces of petrified wood. I can't help but wonder what that tree looked like some hundred million years ago, what types of animals were in existence and of course was gold plentiful?

Below is my latest batch I took out of my rock tumbler after tumbling for over 4 weeks. I loaded up another three tumblers tonight of various types of rocks. They should be ready next month.

Beautiful! How many different grits to you run them through?

I used the standard 4 different grits (one week each) then a burnish wash with shavings from a bar of Ivory Soap for 3-4 hours.
