A bit of change, not bad. What is your method for cleaning the clad?

I’ve tried so many ways to clean clad🤦‍♂️ I ended up washing them twice this time and using a couple tblsp of baking soda and a single tiny drop of dawn dish soap each time. Using aquarium gravel also. I’d like to get ststl shot but haven’t yet. They came out the best I’ve got them. I’ve tried so many methods on YouTube.

I've tried many methods too but never have anything come out as crisp as you did here.

I use aquarium gravel in my tumbler with just a little bit of Dawn liquid and enough water to cover the coins, and in about an hour it all comes out nice and clean.
Just make sure to separate the pennies from everything else, or it all comes out copper colored!
