    Some time ago an old rock hound told me to  use a teaspoon of
    shredded Ivory soap in my tumbler  to polish my silver.  I have  a
    three barrel tumber---small barrels.  This cheap method is very
    effective.   I have never had any pitting, have used it on keum boo,
    delicate chains,  or whatever else needs polishing.  I think one of
    the reasons I've never had pitting is that I usually tumble for
    about 15 minutes---no  more.  I never could understand why one would
    need to continue to tumble once the silver is  all sparkling clean.
    and free of tarnish. Alma
