Thank you so much ! We are very fortunate to have some nice material. Please stay tune we are about to add another tumble video soon. God Bless and take care!
Holy crap these are beautiful, love the history behind fossils.... thanks for sharing some tips about tumbling. It definitely takes some patience, I'm about to start my third batch. I agree with the hammer so you have a more natural look then a cut look. Love your big barrel, I'm using dual 3lb barrels, great video. Rob with MI rocks is amazing, he got me into rocks, especially since I'm from lower MI. Great video man! We are all amateur geologists!
Thanks for commenting ! Another reason I’m cutting them into square shapes is for the purpose of looking at the rocks through a microscope. This is when these rocks come to life. A video on the end result and what can be seen with a microscope is in the works. This type of agatized brachiopods rock is difficult to tumble due to the number of micro agates that can open up into voided pockets. Thanks for watching my friend!
I'm a flint lover, and in the near future I'm going to be videoing my flint tumbling , so I'm watching this with great interest, some super look rocks, will be catching you in your videos, nice 1 , have a good day
Hey thanks for watching and I guess we will be learning together. Flint and chert are fairly hard so it takes some time. I’m like you I love the flint/chert. Thanks again
Best I can tell it’s different types of chert/flint that has brachiopods fossils packed in the rock. On some of the rocks the fossils are replaced with agate. Closer inspection with a stereo microscope reveals lots of agatized brachiopods and other fossils. It’s really neat stuff that I love to collect and tumble. I only find this type of rock in a small local area. I would love to find out if others have ran across this type of rock. Thanks for watching
Thanks for watching! A good reference book is helpful but what I find that helps the most is getting to know your local natural history museum. The one in your area is called the McClung museum of natural history. I have not visited this one but it looks very good. Take them some rock samples and talk with some people that share the same passion. They may even display some of your findings. Thanks again.
That’s awesome I’m in Clarksville in new built townhouses. They dug up the land to make room for more lots. I’ve been finding all kinds of shell & coral fossils in limestone and sandstone. Finding Chert & chunks of quarts. I need to get a tumbler! How big is yours and is it very loud? I wouldn’t be able to get one that size if it would disturb the neighbors. I’m hoping to keep it in the garage.

@@TennesseeRocks thanks and welcome to thecaptainshow
I'm enjoying your content. You have some real pretty rocks. Any idea what kind they are? The ones you've tumbled, I mean. They're unusual looking

Awesome looking material! I have had great success running a 1 day cleaning cycle with just a drop of dish soap between grit stages!
Also, Michigan Rocks is an excellent tumbling resource! Meminer and Marlaina have given me the best tips by far!
Thanks for the info. I will have to try a cleaning cycle between the stages and see how it works.
Enjoyed the vids. keep them going.
Thanks for watching John !
Very nice. I'm in Knoxville, TN. Recently getting back to rockhounding. Thanks for the videos. Any recommendations for identifying local minerals.

Thank you, I know this museum well, never thought to take them samples, thanks again.
