Great video man, love watching this. First year for me 2 tumbles completed so far. Cool tigers eyes, carnilian, and agates. The only agates I found so far can only be seen under a microscope. Love your basket strainer. Thanks for sharing your journey, it's helpful, and also thanks for inspiring!
Great video man! I love your crawdad trap strainer! Both barrels out of stage 1 could use some more time for sure! I usually don't put the ceramic media in that stage, you want them to bang around as much as possible. That carnelian is beautiful! Aftermarket belts are the way to go, mine is supposed to go on a sewing machine. The best tumbling tips I ever got were from videos by Marlaina, Michigan Rocks and MeMiner.
Killer video brother! Keep pumping them out! We love these agates. You ever tumbled any Kentucky agate? (Asking part way through so I may not need to ask but oh well lol)
Nah this is the first time I e ever tumbled agate. I have tumbled some other things before like small quarter sized geodes. And just Little Rock’s I have found but this is a first where I have good material
Hey bro! Looks like you havent uploaded in a while but good stuff! I live in Pike County and am getting into some rockhounding around here. Are you still in the hobby? Also noticed your Jeep and looks like you might be a Navy vet as well
That purple one might be fluorite. You can find it here in western ky. Not sure what part you're from but looking at your rocks I would guess anywhere central to eastern KY. Not likely you're from my neck of the woods lol

I'm really new with identifying rocks but I think the red one was jasper

But I agree with Ragnar, I don’t use ceramic in the first stage either.

Yeah south central Ky. We have fluorite here as well just not huge cubes like y’all do out there. Beautiful stuff!
Would you be willing to vibe me some locations I could go looking for agates? I've looked around Estill County with no luck.
