Another Use For Tumbler
Hi guys picked this tip up in another forum, i have always used the tumbler for coins only, until tonight when i saw how another guy used it for cleaning his silver jewelry.
Well i have an ice cream container filled with silver that i have found in the ocean over the years and its all black with silt built up and other materials encasing the silver,really i didn't have a clue how i was going to clean it until now. Here's the result of the first batch after 3 hrs tumbling..

Cleaned up really nice. Did you use any kind of cleaning agent.

Hi guys,yes i should have mentioned that..
white aquarium gravel,but don't use as much as you would for coins, about a cupful of beach sand and a squirt of dishwashing liquid,and tumble for about 3 hrs ,of course the chains will get tangled up and you will need patience for sorting them out afterwards...
