Another great video Mark! I appreciate all the hard work that is put in.... especially the "before and after" images! Keep on rolling!

Wish I'd have known your Grammaw... You are making her PROUD! Great vid Rockhunter.

[@jefftrag1956]

Nice job. Try doing 2 or 3 loads in the course grit before moving forward so you can fill the drum to maximum capacity for the finer grits. That will save money on the cost of the finer grits and time too.. Also do some reaseach on buying grits in bulk from places that sell material for tombstone polishing or other businesses like that. Those little jars of grit cost a fortune!

[@jenseaglasssoul2824]

Suggestions on where to buy the grits in bulk?

[@jefftrag1956]

@@jenseaglasssoul2824 I would research places that sell to tombstone places or people who polish granite counter tops etc. It has to be out there.

Loved seeing your process! Beautiful colors! Miss seeing your surprises each week at the clinic

[@coyotearrowheadhunting3083]

.Incredible the final appearance after polishing, wow my friend. Blessings on your way.

[@RockHunterMark]

I’m very blessed

[@spiffymcshaftersoniii6719]

Great video Mark! Love the before and after shots. Let's us see how much material is being removed. The petrified wood is my favorite. Good luck out there

[@RockHunterMark]

I will be doing a load of petrified wood only in the rock polisher coming up soon

[@plateauman8907]

You sure did choose a beautiful selection of stones to tumble. Can't wait to see the next project you have going for us rockhounds. Thank you for showing us your process. Happy hunting out there!

[@RockHunterMark]

Thanks for watching happy hunting to you too

[@michaelchilders1658]

Really enjoyed watching the process. The best part is that your Grandmother gave you the tumbler so many years ago and you that you took care of it and still use it today. 👍🔥

[@RockHunterMark]

Yes she is gone but her tumbler lives on

[@missroxie-marielowe2946]

Already on the hunt for a polisher….. I love them!

[@RockHunterMark]

Worth every penny

Really enjoyed the video! Love how the rocks turn out! Thanks for sharing, Gloria

[@stephaniegrable2612]

So glad I found your videos! I’m so jealous of all your geode cracking devices and your rock tumbler. If I had them I wouldn’t be getting anything else done 😁. Thank you for sharing

[@ccoutdoors590]

Rocko man shazam! Awesome video good brother

[@RockHunterMark]

Thanks 🙏 my wanamo brother

[@bryanwalters502]

They are beautiful ❤️

[@natasharaymond8958]

Love how the wood one turned out

[@b.a.macnab6209]

I can only hope that the rocks I started yesterday in my little tumbler will look 1/2 as good as yours do.

[@StephenandYhana]

Oh wow, they have come out so nice. Well done buddy they look very lovely 😉😊

[@RockHunterMark]

Thanks , I really love the way they turned out also. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

Wow, they turned out Beautifully, such a variety of Beautiful Stones, it’s awesome you’re still able to utilize a tumbler your grandma gave you such a long time ago, the whole process is really cool, I’ve always wanted to get a tumbler and try this, I’ve been finding a variety of Beautiful Stones lately but I’m not good at identifying them, found a blue looking stone recently like I’ve never seen before, I bet it would look Beautiful Tumbled, btw is that your own line of Rock Hunter shirts or do you purchase them somewhere? Pretty Cool, I’d like to get me one of those, Thanks For Sharing Mark, GL&HH 👊🏹

[@rachelxtc]

Love your videos! Definitely need to get a rock tumbler.

[@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353]

Beautiful rocks!? Looks like they could have tumbled on its 1st stage for another several weeks though. Not smooth and there are a lot of pit marks on them. Good video 👍.

Hola Mark from Tlaquepaque Jalisco, Mexico

[@Jane_Dow]

My favorite one was the black & white swirl. Amazing how different they are after a month of tumbling. I have a Harbor Freight tumbler I've never used... 2- Questions: Are the rocks safe to put into your fish tanks ? & Are there any natural things you can use as grits to polish the rocks ? Thank you & really enjoyed the video !! :~)

[@RockHunterMark]

I would assume they are ok for the fish tank . I don’t know if there are natural grit to use. Sorry I could not be of more help. Thanks for watching and commenting, rock on

[@Jane_Dow]

@@RockHunterMark Thank you for answering ! :~)

[@Pattyai1]

Very Nice, can you post the type of rock it is with the reveal?

[@dianequince8761]

Hi Mark, I have a question. You said 2 Tbsp for each pound of rock, I've followed the instructions for my 2 different tumblers and they say 1 Tbsp per pound. Is it better to use 2 Tbsp instead of just 1? I'm still new at this, so any help is appreciated. Thanks 👍

[@RockHunterMark]

It varies depending on the grit but always do put a little extra 😄

[@dianequince8761]

@@RockHunterMark Okay, because I use the same grit as you and ceramic pellets. Thank you 😊

[@sharonrowland1196]

Mark I love Your Rocks my friend 👍👍❤️❤️😆 Mark I've got the Hobby Edition Rock Tumbler 🥃👍 Can you please give me some information on it please? And I've also have the National Geographic Rock Tumbler 🥃 the yellow one, but I've lost my seal that go in the lid of my yellow Rock Tumbler 🥃, Is there any way I can get an New seal for it?

[@RockHunterMark]

Try the maker obviously but that’s all I can say, sorry , hope you have a great time

[@kurtchen81]

Hi. I recently started drumming beach stones from the Baltic Sea. I'm curious how many ounces of grid you use for a 3lb drum in each step? Greetings from Germany

[@RockHunterMark]

It varies for each kind of grit. 2 tablespoons per pound for coarse and medium, 1.5 tablespoons per pound for pre polish and 1 tablespoon per pound for polish. This could vary depending on brand of grit.

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

Where are you located?

[@RockHunterMark]

Missouri

[@CANNAROCKHOUNDING]

They needed more time on the various stages and you wasted a lot of grit

[@RockHunterMark]

Probably but I don’t care 🤷‍♂️

[@CANNAROCKHOUNDING]

@RockHunter Mark ok I understand completely

[@lithgowlights859]

@@RockHunterMark as long as you are happy with the results, thats all that matters. Rocks looked pretty good.
