Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials
As far as media separation goes, I have found a pretty painless way to do it.
Go to Wal-Mart and pick up:
A large Stainless Steel metal strainer:
A plastic bowl that is large enough to hold the strainer as well as the gallon on water you have in the tumbler.
Now, all that is left is the magnet.
I use a large round salvage magnet like this one:

The process goes something like this:
- Un-dog lid to tumbler and remove.
- Use magnet to capture any loose media around the outside edge of the lid.
- Put strainer in bowl and pour all the liquid into the strainer.
(It is normal for some media to get through the strainer.)
- Place large magnet underneath bowl and dump.
- Remove magnet and recover any media laying in the bottom of the bowl.
- Repeat process as needed to rinse and recover all brass & media.
Hope this info is of use to you all.
By the way, I finally got around to tumbling that 5.56 brass that was in my back yard for a year.
I'll post up pictures tomorrow.
Pretty interesting results...
