I picked up a 6 pound rock tumbler and some course ground glass medium grit abrasive material from Harbor Freight Tools. Total cast $39.00. I am stunned and amazed by the results.
My filthy, nasty clads that have not seen the light of day are as bright and shiny as the day they were minted. My old wheaties are amazing. Some look like they were just minted. Bright, shiny and clean and not one scratch.
I mixed about 5 tablespoons of glass medium into the containers and used a cleaning product (new) by STP called Oomph!. I filled it up with Oomph! just above the coin line and added a little water. I spun 'em overnight (about 10-12 hours) and by next morning, I swear someone replaced 'em with new coins.
The dirt was foamy and muddy. Every trace of black, crusty dirt flushed from the tumbler and exposed the shiny clads.
I cleaned up some silver too (I ran it for about 4 hours) with the same amazing results.
If I wasn't so tired from workin' all day, I'd put up some pics but trust me, you will be very impressed with the outcome. Maybe I'll get the energy to put some pics up.
