[QUOTE="charley, post: 25692668, member: 5372"]I don't think your proposed large scale method is going to work well. I am somewhat assuming the method would be placing 10/20 pieces at a time in a solution. Unless you are absolutely certain of what substance is on each piece (and there will be many substances you will not be able to identify and on many pieces it may not be visible if there is a substance but there is), you are risking contamination of pieces in the same container. 1/2/3, maybe 4 pieces at a time that you are sure is not a contaminant that will create a large scale brewery of liquid that could be detrimental to other pieces, while certainly time consuming, will be a safer method. Who knows? You will maybe identify an anomaly that captures your attention and curiosity will trigger your interest in reading a Book on the piece and learn valuable information and knowledge. The only other suggestion is dump a bunch at a time on a comfortable play time rug and invite 5-10 ankle biters over, because it is 100% certain the majority will place a few at a time in their mouth and "wash" them with some great solvent cleaners present in their saliva. Yes, a few may swallow a piece or 2, but what the hell, when playtime is over, you will have processed quite a number of pieces saving you time and effort. This has been another Charley Talk.
