    JR, I have used my tumbler with stainless steel shot to tumble gold
    filled pieces and I've never had any problems. Maybe the person who
    gave you that advice was talking about gold plated pieces? I think
    the stainless steel shot would definitely remove gold plating. Since
    gold filled is a thicker layer, I think you would have to tumble it
    for a really long time to remove the gold.
