Those are crazy cool . I can’t believe the colors and the detail that the polishing brings out .Finally achieved the mirror like shine
These are bone dry and the picture does not do them justification.

It’s only gonna get better from here. We will be getting some new equipment here over the next couple months, one of them being a high end 17 pound tumbler. I also picked up some fire agate and a couple of other special agates from nature’s treasures rock shop in Austin last week. I just ordered a pound each of Bahi agate and Botswanga agate, some of the most beautiful around.
Same here!! Working construction, I'm always finding myself just ambling along, staring @ the ground like an idiot!
You’ll get used to it. I can’t tell you how many times someone’s asked what we’re looking for. In the bottom picture…that one that kinda looks like a sharks tooth may be an agate. I think I see fortifications banding around lower edge, same with the whitish one above to the right. I want it
the one a couple inches below the edge of your maul (ax) also looks good. At the top of the first picture, is that long piece laying kinda diagonal wood? The white squarish one below may be interesting also, same with the little round rock beneath it.Pick them up! If it looks cool, grab it, throw it in your pocket/car and send me pictures. If someone asks what you’re doing just tell them.Same here!! Working construction, I'm always finding myself just ambling along, staring @ the ground like an idiot!
Tell who ?Just tell them your looking for gold, I'm sure they will keep their distance after that.
Hold on I’m still looking for my maul !!!You’ll get used to it. I can’t tell you how many times someone’s asked what we’re looking for.

Well, that’s what we call an ax/sledgehammer combo here in Texas. Kinda what it looked like you had there in the picture…Tell who ?
Wait ?
Lol
Somebody’s watchin me …. ?
Hold on I’m still looking for my maul !!!
Lol
Lolololol
The metal is way too thin where the handle intersects, no wonder it breaks. I always preferred the old-school hardware store maul. Giant chunk of metal on a wood stick. Like this $50 one, except cheaper. Notice the thickness of the metal at the shaft. Used the same one for 30 years before I had to stop chopping wood because of neck and shoulder issues. Still have it somewhere.
Damn boy! You give new meeting to the term ‘Got Wood?’
that is a BFT. Looks like a rather sick or dead one though so I see why you took it down. I used to be able to work like that, even after a 4 hour stint mountain biking. Every chance I got man. Not sure if I miss it or I’m glad I can’t do it anymore but either way, it’s all pleasant memories now.
That one is going to be way cool!
I hope so! Check this crazy one out. Found it a couple weeks ago and have been researching it since. It’s surprisingly heavy for how it looks and feels. The white outside flakes off in strands with finger nail pressure. If it was like that all the way through it wouldn’t weigh so much. According to a few experienced rock guys on Rock Tumbling Forum, there’s a good chance it’s young, opelized wood. If it is, when I cut it with the saw I may see a shiny black agatized interior. I’m getting the saw out this weekend for sure!
Is it rock or…not rock? Yes, very interesting if it’s rock. Not so much if it ain’t
Thank you my friend! Made me smile over hereThe slices came out very nice too, all of it is freakin' cool.
