Begginer here. I've had these going for 6 weeks using stage 1 grit and they're barely shaping... I know this batch is incredibly hard, but I'd still expect more progress by now. Even in my tiny Nat Geo kids tumbler. Is there anything I can do to speed it up? Or maybe something I'm doing wrong? The rocks fill the drum halfway and I've cleaned the drum and added new Grit every 2 weeks. Water filled just to the top of the rocks. Any advice would be awesome!

Some pics of them wet and dry and a couple before pics at the end

Checked the machine on my way out of the grocery store where I rarely find a single coin and was shocked to find it nearly full. I felt pretty awkward having to reach in multiple times with my other hand full of groceries and definitely caught a look or two.

I haven't had a chance to go through it, but I don't think there's any silver unfortunately... From another's coin jar to mine
