I just posted on how I was going to try to make a rock tumbler from tires without a cover on the middle. Then I see you've already done it. My only concern is how long I can go between adding water
I have a bunch of quartz from a mine in Utah that my uncle owned part of. 200 pounds would take a very long time in a 5 pound tumbler :)
@M1sterHamilton lol trust me i tried that first didnt do anything at all. plus i had 3 5 gallon buckets halfway full, that would be way too much money on ketchup :P
well, the tumbler went to scrap. Decided to clean up my deck and since i have finished the coins, and scrap prices were way up, i got me some cash. Thinking about putting up some more redneck ingenuity vids soon. Subscribe and perhaps you'll see some new ones. Thanks for watching.
@AceThee it was very tedious work. but myself and my girlfriend sat and sorted through everything with a list of important coin dates next to us. some 1943 steel pennies, no copper ones though. i also have a good set of wheat pennies from the batch. funny thing is, all of the older coins had little to no corrosion so it was very easy to spot them. a lot of the newer ones from even the past 5 years were already pitted.
@StLouisEarl i did. pulled all the wheat pennies out, no early quarters, or anything else. mostly newer coins. I did notice though, all the older coins have little to no actual "corrosion" but the newer ones, even within the last three years are falling apart. all the coins have gone to the bank as of a few months ago. Thanks for the comment.
Great job! I do the same type of thing on a smaller scale. I use a treadmill but put about 40 - 50 coins in an empty pickle jar with aquarium gravel, water and baking soda. I let the jar roll on the treadmill while it's wedged against a box. I tumble for about 12 hours as it's not as violent as that tire and mud bath! Maybe I should upgrade.
This is fantastic.......And to think I went threw 3 belts in a week with my 3 pound tumbler..........I gotta go big or go home...L>O>L>..............I have done $154 worth so far,and have another $100 or so to go.....looks like you got probably $500 in Change or more there.
Very good sir..very good-)

How long did you have to run the tumbler for?
CalcityAirsoft 11 months ago
@CalcityAirsoft roughly 2-4 hours to get them clean enough to turn in.

Just a suggestion. I know a guy that uses aquarium gravel. Works pretty good. Better and faster than whatever is in your tire.

@buddybleau ill give that a shot next time i get lucky enough to clean one of these wells out. thanks for the info.

if your collecting any of the coins, I'd separate the silver from the copper ones.
