Question about cleaning... - 12/13/2007 10:02:32 AM    Metalfury   Posts: 70 Joined: 9/7/2007 Status: offline I'm kinda a noob at the bottle thing. I've been digging a dump and have been told that my bottles are probably from about 1900 - 1920 or so. I haven't found anything super valuable but I have got lots of cool embossed stuff...pharmacy, milk, etc. Is there anyway to clean some of the more common smaller bottles in a regular rock tumbler? I know that some of you do so in a bottle tumbler but I was just wondering about the rock tumbler idea. Has anyone tried this and what were the results? Post #: 1

Use the proper grits of compound for the3 job you want done and it should work fine. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0 ya never come back (in reply to Metalfury) Post #: 2
