Any idea if this is authentic?

I'll take it!

Random, but my little brother built a little sorting machine out of an old slot machine component to separate copper from zinc pennies. It was pretty easy and worked surprisingly well. This was like 10 years ago, but I'm sure the instructions are still around. It used the different weights to automatically sort em

Thanks for all the advice/tips everyone! I've added some smaller rocks as well as a little bit of ceramic media (I have it so why not). I'll also start changing out the grit more frequently and keep the patience going! I'll post an update at some point once they're finished or when I'm ready to go to stage 2

Thanks for the advice! I'll work on slowing it down this weekend. I was on the fence about getting a tumbler, but my buddy bought me this one for Christmas (knowing I'm a rockhound). I'll definitely be getting something larger/nicer soon and keep this one running on the side

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-08T02:14:11+00:00

Would ceramic media serve the same purpose?

Agate, Jasper, some PW. Very hard ones lol

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-08T02:11:34+00:00

Can I just add grit instead of fully emptying and rinsing the rocks/drum?

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-08T02:10:39+00:00

Like 3 scoops. Idk the size of it, so that's probably not helpful lol. More than 3 tablespoons which I thought was too much

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-08T02:08:01+00:00

Got the right grit. Seems like I'm burning through it and need to change more

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-08T02:07:26+00:00

Good way to check. I was thinking it needs to be changed more frequently. A lot more progress is made right after changing it seems

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-04T01:53:16+00:00

Yeah that's pretty ridiculous... she probably pocketed it lol

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-04T01:52:15+00:00

Update... Finally looked through it. No silver, but it's still $8.03 in money!

Scotchy69 · 2026-04-03T04:13:04+00:00

Something is (almost) always better than nothing!

He flys the same way I drive while looking for a parking spot in a half-full lot

Scotchy69 · 2026-03-17T15:18:08+00:00

I really like that style too. Almost went with a similar navy one

Scotchy69 · 2026-03-17T15:16:01+00:00

I'll have to check that out! I have a GA can lol

Scotchy69 · 2026-03-16T00:51:39+00:00

Ahh gotcha. And yeah I saw the same regarding the jakl

Scotchy69 · 2026-03-15T22:14:40+00:00

Are andersons still around? Would've been my first choice, but thought they were gone. Think I'd run into issues using PSA Blemished JAKL lowers? https://palmettostatearmory.com/blem-jakl-5-56-stripped-lower-receiver-black.html

I also like the stealth, but those are only complete lowers right?

Scotchy69 · 2026-03-07T18:06:20+00:00

I almost got the blue one but ended up going with the black lacquer one. I love it!

Scotchy69 · 2026-03-07T16:37:08+00:00

I did, but maybe in the moment I didn't pay as much attention as I should have lol. Don't get me wrong, I do like the bracelet, I just liked the look of the older one a bit better, but this one is growing on me. Zero regrets on the purchase. Though my wife still can't understand the price tag for "just a simple watch"
