I am seriously considering buy a dual barrel rock tumbler and modifying it to clean bottles. I can do this easily. The problem is, that I am the biggest cheapskate east of the Mississippi. I really, really, really don't want to shell out the money to pay for copper shavings, so is there anything else that would work? Even if it takes a week or two longer, will anything else work?
I want to do this, because my grandmother in PA just informed me that there was a large dump on the backside of her property. She said that years ago, she walked around the area, and found many shards of embossed glass, and a whole med bottle. Then, we found an 1890s trash pit near her house, and the creek running in front of her house is loaded with 1900s soda bottles! Then in the town next to her, a creek runs right by where a mining camp, an old tavern, and a bottling works! Bottle Heaven up there! I will show ya'll what me and my dad have found so far just near the surface. We probably won't be heading up there until next summer though.
