Nice tumblers, i have double tumbler from Harbor frieght work pretty good for budget tumbler coin star is the best. Thanks for demonstration and posting result.
Nice video Scott. I use aquarium rock, water, 1/2 teaspoon of dish soap, and a teaspoon of CLR works a treat. You should not mix the clad with the pennies turns them a copper color. Also I noticed that there were wheaties in there, they should be pulled out imo🤔🤔🤔
Number one, Don’t put silver coins in with the Pennies, they come out looking like pennies! I use just a hand held strainer, but I use fish tank gravel, a shot of Dawn soap and usually around a hundred coins depending on the size of the coin and roll for four hours. Again Roll Pennies by themselves!!! When I roll coins it’s usually several hundreds of coins a day and night, I lay them out on towels and then check them all for imperfections, then put them in coin rolls that you can pick up lots of places, penny,nickel, half dollar, quarter,dimes rolls then take them to a bank or store that needs change. That way you know what you have found detecting! I don’t like those coin counters in stores or banks! If you ever watched a bank roll coins in a counter machine,lots of coins roll off the sides of the bin and if the person doing the rolling doesn’t clean up the coins that have rolled over the sides, you just lost money! Look how many foreign and US coins are found in those coin rollers at supermarkets, that’s the coins you spent hours cleaning and now someone else is enjoying your work for free. I’ve been cleaning and rolling coins for over 40 years, do it my way, chances are you might just find that one or two coin dates that are worth a lot of money, maybe that one coin that was made wrong like a penny I found that the face was off to the side,Special coins I put in those coin holders! Again, I can’t stress this enough, CLEAN PENNIES by themselves! I wash silver coins by themselves and usually by denominations, lots easier to count and roll! Have fun cleaning and collecting and returning dirty, now clean money back into circulation 😊 (Ringfinder)
Rocks are different. you are polishing them. Coins were already polished. I would try adding to grit system Like the steel berrings and the 600. MY reasoning is the berrings will knock off the larger corosion the the 600 kinda smooths it over all done at the same time. I have run into a lil glitch along the way I use sand out of a creek cheep and easy.... If you tumble silver in with copper or brass it will change the color to copper color. so I tumble separate now......
Wasting time. Simpler and faster method, use playground sand, cover with vinegar, add a tablespoon of salt. Tumble copper and silver separately. Tumbling time depends on your ground conditions and degree of staining.
I dont know I just use Flitz to polish my coins. i was thinking a gunsmiths case tumbler with walnut media would do a better job without damage to the coins detail.

Nice. I'm down with white aquarium rock and simply green.
I like aquarium rock and 50 50 water and concentrated lemon juice.
I use green resin pyramids from harbor freight; tumble with some Tide and a little water for 20 minutes.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Not sure if it was a waste of time, it was just an experiment but thanks for the tips.
I polish my constitutional silver coins with stainless shot and burnishing liquid. They come out with mirror finish and are way cleaner.

Just some sand and a couple drops of dawn. 1 hr.
Thanks!
That is a Coin Assault Weapon, it needs to be Banned.
LOL sure.
