@@SRLGemstone Thank you 🙂

@wilbondcajunrockhound5758 Hey, Wil! Makes sense about the Arkansas one not having been tumbled down the river. Hadn't thought about cutting any open. But I just might now that you mentioned it. That really stinks when the internet goes out. I definitely love all the awesome rocks you sent! Thank you so very much!! Have a great day, my friend 🙂

@user-kx9bh4sh8v Hello, Arlene! Yep, the moonstone here in Wisconsin is unique. I've only seen it at Gem and Mineral shows in the Milwaukee area before I collected some myself. Once I learned of their Facebook page, I called them to make my reservation. It was very fun to collect. I'm super happy you're enjoying my videos. I made a video of my trip to Wausau, Wisconsin, to collect moonstone if you've not seen it yet. Happy hounding to you as well! I'm hoping it's nice out this weekend to hit the beach. Have a good day 🙂

@libmananchannel Hello! Thank you very much for watching and leaving a comment. I enjoyed watching some videos on your channel also.

@GREEKEXPLORERS Hello, my friend! Thank you very much. Have a great week! 🙂

@@puliendopiedrasdecostarica Thank you very much, my friend! Have a great week! 😁🤜🤛

@soul_adventurist do you want me to message you their number? Thanks, for watching the update video, Cheryl! I hope you have an excellent week, my friend 😊

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 thanks, Shawn:) You are too sweet!

@upnorthadventureswithccc Hi Cherry! I have a Tumble Bee running in a different room because it's much louder. And I have a Harbor Frieight as a backup. Hahaha, yeah, I got some tumblers. I'd love a setup like Rob @Michigan Rocks has! Thanks for watching. Enjoy your week! 😊

@GMAN1965 Hoping so! I'm glad the blue is showing up more after tumbling a bit. Some of them are really looking wild! Thanks for watching, buddy 🙂

@AlabamaUSA1234 Hello there, Alabama! I started tumbling as a teen, and I'm turning 50 in a couple of weeks. For me, it's been a very enjoyable hobby. I have been tumbling more now that I live near a great lake and a large rock shop. So I have access to much more material. I just picked up an extra tumbler at Harbor Freight for $69.00. Hahaha, so now I have 4 tumblers 🤪. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have an awesome week! 🙂

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 dude, that's so cool. I just started rockhounding in October... everyone keeps asking me if I have a tumbler. That's so cool you moved to the source and a rock shop too. I've never been to a rock shop. I'm going to my first Gem and Mineral show this December with the club I joined.

@AlabamaUSA1234 I hope you enjoy the Gem and Mineral Show! Even the smaller ones are fun. It's great that you are in a group also! 🤘😁

@johnsaucerhunter Howdy, John! Two weeks from now, they should hopefully be looking nicer. Hoping. I've tumbled feldspars before. They can be troublesome. Have a great week!

@JnVrockhounding Hey, Jeff! Yeah, just a quick update on them. Sometimes, it's nice to do some videos step by step. Fingers crossed, they turn out awesome. Have a great week, JnV! 🙂

@AussieRockhoundingandAdventure Hello, Courtney! If they are this flashy now, they should hopefully be outstanding when they are finished. I think there's gonna be a few oh wows in there. Rock on 🤘 😁 and have called great week!

@tigereye508 Hello, Tigereye! Thank you for following the moonstone tumbling videos. It seems like it goes by much quicker once I get past step 1. Enjoy the rest of your week. 🙂

@@Mrjoshuasjourneyzzz10420 Hello, Joshhh!!! I'm very pleased with the box. All kinds of agatey goodness. Thanks for watching. Have a great week! 🙂

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 U2

@user-kx9bh4sh8v Hello, Arlene! I love all of them. But, the big one at 7:00 was definitely worthy of going on my top shelf display. I can see why you thought that was petwood at the end. I almost thought so, too, at first. It's chert like the others. They should tumble up excellent. I'm excited! Thanks for watching. Have a wonderful week 🙂

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 Oh ok cool glad to know it's chert. I just started RH this spring 2024 still learning. Thank you! same to you!

@@GMAN1965 Hey, Mike! They're some killer ones in there! I'll bring some to show ya next time I see ya. Thanks for watching, buddy 🤘😁

@lovefaith1794 Hi, Marni! 5 more weeks to go for my trip. Hopefully, my knee is good, and I don't reinjure it there. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You should check out his channel if you've never watched it before. I don't call him the King of Crowleys for nothing. Have a great week! 🙂

@@northernrocks543 Hey, Northern Rocks! He definitely gave me quite a few. I was just happy I could send him stuff to cut and polish and show some on his Stud or Dud show. He was very generous in his box. Everything is so cool! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment, my friend. Have an awesome week! 🙂

@GREEKEXPLORERS Hello, my good friend. And thank you very much for watching! Take care 🙂

@largent45 Hiya, Lisa! Hahaha, I can only imagine how many Crowleys he has. He sent me some a few years ago. But, this time, he sent even more! That biggun is already proudly on display. I'm certainly hoping to do him proud by tumbling some of them. I hope you are doing well. Have a fabulous week, my friend 😊

@johnsaucerhunter Hola, Senor John. Well, thank you ever so much for watching and commenting even though you are without a computer. 🙏 There were definitely a couple weird ones in there that are fun to gaze upon in wonder. I need to make my next moonstone update video tonight so I can get back to tumbling them. I'm hoping I can get some of these tumbling real soon. Hahaha, I have 6 barrels occupied at the moment. Take care and have a wonderful week, my friend 🙂

@@offyarocka Heyyy, Mahnee!! Cheers, mate 🤘😁🤘

@@JnVrockhounding Hello, Jeff! Wil definitely has an incredibly awesome collection of Crowleys and chert. It's mind blowing how many he finds. I'll be sure to post the results of the tumbles. I appreciate you watching. Take care and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend, JnV! 🙂

@@upnorthadventureswithccc Hi, Cherry! I'm over the moon with these amazing cowleys! And I'm super excited to tumble those cherts! Wil hooked me up 😁. I hope you have a fantastic holiday weekend also! Thanks for watching.

@@AlabamaUSA1234 Well, thank you very much Alabama! I truly appreciate that. Have a great weekend!

@@tigereye508 Hi Tigereye! Hahaha, I've been admiring Wil's channel for awhile now. Isn't that chert stunning though? Wow! Yes, that monster piece is going on my top shelf raw agates. I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you so much for leaving a comment. Have a wonderful weekend! 😊

Hiya, Jemmy! You like the triangle pattern one, eh? 😉 They truly are fascinating with their funky shapes. My leg is healing up. But, it is still sore every day and my other leg has been hurting from favoring it over the other. It's rather depressing because hiking in nature is one if 3 things that make me happy. My cat. My rocks. And Hiking. I haven't been doing much hiking lately. Hahahaha, but would you believe that I have a camping trip planned for Newport State Park, the very place I injured my leg?! Every year in September/October I travel up north with my best friend. We are going to Door County. We will be camping one night at Newport State Park. Then we will be staying at a cabin near Potawatomi State Park. Any hiking I do will be not too strenuous on my knees. Thanks for watching and asking about my leg. I appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend! 😊

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 Aw man, I'm sorry to hear! I hear you about the hiking, it makes the appreciation so much more when you're not able to! That trip sounds so so cool, and glad you wont be doing any strenuous hiking. Healing an injury twice is not worth it hahaa 🤗

@@jennystone421 🙂

@soul_adventurist Cheryl, aren't those cherts too cool?! You've said before I don't need to send anything. But, I can send you a piece, and I can send you some that I've found along Lake Michigan also. Just say the word and I'll send you a nice gift box. Either way, I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Thank you kindly for watching and commenting. Have a fantastic weekend 😊

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 I can’t stop you from sending pretty rocks. I have a couple things you might like, too. Let’s trade😊♥️

@@femmemecaniquedesigns I am about to check on them. I'm anxious for them to be finished. They are looking nice so far. Thank you very much for watching and commenting 😊 Have a fantastic weekend!

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 hopefully 🤞 they are amazing 😻

@@puliendopiedrasdecostarica Hola, amigo! Thank you very much! They will be finished soon. I will make a couple more videos. I appreciate you watching 🤜🤛

@TheAdventureCloset Hello Charlie n Liz! It most definitely is! I'm crossing my fingers for some nice pieces. I have all my best pieces tumbling. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted. Take care, my friends 🙂

@DavidHuber63 thank you very much!!

Arlene, is it? Oh yes, that was a magnificent agate, indeed! Many of these pieces I have on display. I love to trade rocks with friends. Thanks much for watching 🙂

@user-kx9bh4sh8v Well, hello 👋 and nice to meet you! Thank you very much for stopping by my channel. I have been watching Wil Bond for many years. And I've been watching JnV since the beginning. Both wonderful people. Our rockhounding community is full of some really great people. Glad to have you aboard. Wisconsin has some great rockhounding along Lakes Michigan and Superior. And not to mention this magical moonstone. Three things we love in Wisconsin Cheese, beer, and brats! 😆 I want to go to Arizona one day to do some hounding myself. I absolutely love sunstones, too! Especially the ones with schiller! Best of luck to you in your future rockhounding adventures. Have a great day 🙂 Also I polished a piece of moonstone on my flat lap and finished it off using a dremel. I will share it at the end. It's fun learning to use lapidary equipment!

@@GMAN1965 Hey, Mike! I'll see if I can find a decent piece to give ya. I need to cut up some larger pieces first. Thanks for watching, buddy. 🤘😁

@lovefaith1794 Hello, Marni. I'm going to try and make a couple more videos showing the progress. Then, I will compare them to the pieces I had already purchased polished. Thanks for watching and have a great week 😊

@AussieRockhoundingandAdventure Hi, Courtney! Oh, yes! That one does have some insane flash on it. Almost purple even. I hope you and Karen have a rockin week ahead, also 👋😁

@@TheRogueRockhound Hey, Andrew! I'm super stoked for these because I collected them all myself. They really are looking pretty decent so far. Thanks for watching, bro! Have a great week 😁

@@northernrocks543 Hey, NorthernRocks! I couldn't have said it better myself. And I thank you!! I hope you have a great week, my friend 🙂

Hey, Wil! I hope you get a decent piece or two out of yours. Even the stuff without flash looks nice tumbled. I'm glad that I was able to find some myself because it's expensive to get at rock shows, especially the polished ones. Thanks for watching, my friend 🙂 Have a great day!

@litterpicker Hello, picker! I still have much of the material left in its raw form. In my collection, I have a nice balance between raw, some cut, and some polished. I feel this particular material needs to be polished to be appreciated. There is even more cool geological info in the link for the video description. I really appreciate you watching and leaving a comment. Have an awesome day 🙂

Hiya, Jemmy! You betcha they're looking good 👍. Hahaha, I'm just hoping they look as good, if not better than the few pieces I already had. We shall see 😊. I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment! Have a wonderful day!

@@soul_adventurist Hi, Cheryl! Yes, they are looking pretty good so far. Thanks for watching. Happy Sunday 😊

@@GREEKEXPLORERS Thank you very much for watching. Have a great Sunday, my friend 🙂

@upnorthadventureswithccc Hello, Cherry! I am finally getting around to tumbling some of the material I found. I had already polished a piece on my flat lap that I made into a pendant. I may show it at the end with the others that are polished for comparison. I can't wait until these are done! Thanks for watching. Happy Sunday 😊

​@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 Oh my, these are choice pieces. Looking forward to the next step. Thank you for the video!

@@michellemevans3123 That sounds very cool, I would like to have seen it 😁 There is an amazing amount of rock to go through that beach on a good day. Feel free to introduce yourself if you see me out there in the future. Take care and thanks for watching 😊

@@outdooradventureswithfayde6832 I absolutely will!!!! I wish I could show you a photo of my triangle rock. That shore is so fun and so relaxing. I absolutely love it
