Here are photos of three of my finds. I used electrolysis in tap water, baking soda, and lemon juice. I zapped them one minute at a time, then wiped off the heavy with paper towel, repeated it once or twice then rubbed with baking soda paste until finished product. I love the out come.

The dime I had already cleaned the day I found it to the point that I couldn't get anymore of the tarnish off. So the before pic of that is at that starting point. The chain and the Saint Christopher medallion I used this process from jump street.
Hope this helps anyone wanting to clean there silver fast and easy.

I have to say they came out good that religious medallion came out really good
Thanks, I have been sitting here zapping rings, coins, running back and forth to the kitchen sink doing baking soda rubs. I'm so happy how these silvers are coming out. The elephant ring, the dragon ring and the other medallion came out great.

Awesome silver, fantastic cleaning job Congrats!

I have to stick with my coin tumbler for now, between me and Murphy, I'd end up with curly hair and that crispy look!
