[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1726658, member: 7539"] Yup, no problem. It's like running a sluice box and panning for pins :) I'm going to have to build one of those heating units soon to make the brass drying process easier too. I've been just blowing them down with a heat gun (or the wife's blow dryer when she's not looking) but it would save some manual labor time to just toss them in a box and let them heat up and evacuate all moisture. Some people just toss a sheet full of brass in the oven at low temp too but I'm not sure I could get away with that. I also ran across a website once that had big chemical resistant rotary tubs that held MUCH more than even the largest Thumblers model (we're talking gallons). I saw some youtube video or something of a guy who built his own roller system to hold them and he could do massive amounts of brass in one shot. I also found another source for the cut wire that was cheaper but you have to buy like 55 gallon drums of it. If we had a lot of people interested, it could get more reasonable for the media.
