Remove the bottom of a bucket and attach some quarter inch wire mesh. Add ingredients and shake over another bucket or other container to catch the medium.

JT,
Great minds think alike! I spent some time this weekend thinking about solving
my dilemma and continue my search for that elusive (really cheap) media
separator. So I formed some quarter inch mesh along with a small Tupperware
bucket and it works so good I might patent it (just kidding!). Here are some
pics from my P&S camera so they aren't too great.
My Tumbler
My Media Seperator
Media emptied into the seperator
A few shakes of the Tupperware bucket back and forth - Voila! A few large
pieces of media remain but are easily removed, and the brass of course.
The final results - Brass collected out of the basket and media ready to be
poured back into the tumbler.
Only thing left to do is to duct tape the edges of the quarter inch wire to
avoid the inevitable piercing of the skin from the jaggies. I would think this
could easily be scaled up to the larger Tupperware container if your needs
mandated a larger arrangement. The nice part: It didn't cost me a penny
as I had this piece of mesh and the wife donated the bucket. The media
that I am using is the Wally World Corn Cob Pet Litter. The brass I tried
this out with was .38/.380/.45ACP/.357.
