It seems the clad I find doesn't hold up too well against the Florida sand-soil. Almost every coin I find has a deep reddish brown tarnish. I've tries a few simple things to try and get them to look decent enough for spending, but I'm wondering if it's worth the time and effort. I've tried olive oil, soaking in detergent, mouthwash (alcohol), and scrubbing with a toothbrush, but nothing is helping.
Should I try something more aggressive, or would you not bother? I just want to be able to spend them or roll them for the bank.
Here's a sample of a dime and a quarter, with a surface find for comparison:
