- In this video I tumble a bag of landscape rocks purchased at Home Depot. Will they polish? Will they get pretty? Was it worth the effort? Watch and see...

They will look better after a couple of beers, trust me
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: First-time viewer here. Really enjoyed your video! I rockhunt chat and gravel piles to this day. That's how I got started in the hobby... in the feldspar and quartz gravel pile in our backyard . By the time I was 3 years old, I had quite a collection... my parents had pictures of me showing them off to anyone who listen. LoL!!😅
I love how everyone is quick to defend the ugly rocks. 😂😂❤️
Hi Mike, 2 1/2 months crunched into 38 minutes - good job!! Lots of great info for rockhounds. Thumbs up! Jim
Pretty rocks!
That polish cycle is really going to look nice
Awesome video! Thank you for staying so committed to telling the full story, I can only imagine the amount of time that you put into this, thank you for taking us on this journey.
I like pretty rock bats 🦇
Hey Mile great video. I sent it on to my grandson who is learning how to tumble. I think it makes a good instructional video 😊
Interesting experiment ty
I may try and take some of the softer rejects and do a smaller test with them to see if they polish down. Just to see
Could you please tell me more about your homemade tumbler?
Could them Beach Rocks have come from Mexico??? Was there any Info on the Bag as to where the Rocks came from, if not, Call the Store / Purchasing Dept and just maybe they'll have an answer, they more than likely be happy to tell you.
So now we are rock shaming? It's not the rocks fault that you don't find them pretty enough. I am not sure how to react to this
I'm ugly, so I can get away with shaming ugly rocks.
Walcott anti Trump America…. Unfortunately.
….MAGA❤
Another great video. Some of those turned out exceptional! My thought on the 2nd pile, tumble them some more. Is it possible that they just need more time due to hardness being different than pile one that took the nice polish quicker? Looking forward to seeing the batch you teased that was in the other tumbler! Thank you!
I put most of the rocks in the second pile in with some other rocks I had that needed to go back to pre-polish. I think a lot of them were a bit softer than the ones that took a good polish. Not sure if they'll do any better second time around.
Why doesn't the grit wear away the tumbler
Yes repolish the rock bats 🦇
How much is your grit budget for a year can it be reused?
Are you able to reuse the grit?
Not the heavier grits. They break down in use. In theory the polish could be reused, but it would take some effort to clean it up. Generally I just use new at each stage.
Rock bats 🦇 who don't get in the tumbler 🥃 caves are meant for another purpose.
note to self: Gneiss = not nice.
