ROCK TUMBLING

For around 6 months or so prior to getting my rock tumblers, I had been collecting some rocks, and knew that I wanted to get a rock tumbler. I just didn't know when. Then on Thursday, June 2nd, 2022, I found a National Geographic brand, Hobby Edition rock tumbler on

sale at Walmart for just $10 that was previously $58. Then on Tuesday, June 7th, 2022, just 5 days later, I found another one at the same store on sale at the same price. These were purchases I couldn't pass up, and I think I was extremely lucky to find them at the prices I got them for. If it hadn't been for that, who knows how long it would have been before I ever bought a rock tumbler, or actually ever bought one at all.

I must note, that these are not the first rock tumblers I've owned. Many years ago, maybe around 2012 or so, I had another tumbler made by another brand. I don't remember the brand that it was, but it had a plastic barrel, and I didn't get along with the noise very well. Needless to say, I gave up rock tumbling at that point, and I don't even think I finished all of the stages of the rock tumbling process.

These new tumblers I have now are much quieter since they have rubber barrels. So they are hardly a nuisance as far as noise is concerned. I just have something else running now to increase my power bill lol.
