In Memory Of
The coins come out of the ground here pretty bad sometimes, some seem like they are encased in concrete.
Got the HF double tumbler and I love it, but before I had it I used the Manual method of shaking.
Still do, just to clean them up a little for closer inspection after a hunt.
Tried all kinds of containers but this one works the best, plus, you get some yummy flavored coffee, too.
Lots of recipes recommended, including water, gravel, soap, salt, vinegar and even some other stuff.
I use this recipe.
White aquarium gravel, 1/4 full, a little dish soap, tablespoon of vinegar and sometimes a tablespoon of salt.
Add just enough water to cover gravel and coin mix, seal the top and shake, shake, shake!
You can do all copper or all clad batches only, but I do it all at once after a hunt and it seems to work well.
After a few minutes the coins come out clean enough that I could at least read the dates more easily.
The more you shake the cleaner they get.
This container is comfortable in my hands for all that shaking, and nothing spills out.
Works great for me!
