Ok, this is my second batch of dug clad coins tumbled in a Harbor Freight tumbler. I am wondering if this is just the usual clean, or could it be better? Some coins came super shiny, spic-n-span clean. Most, however, are clean, but still pretty dark. None were shiny clean when they started. I accidentally ran 3 pennies with this batch. I used aquarium type gravel, a handful of sawdust, didn't have borax, so I used some Oxi-clean powder type stuff, a dash of Dawn, and a kicker of vinegar. Seems like too many ingredients, but I wanted to see everything shine. Total run time was about 4 hrs. They are more than clean enough for the bank machine, but I was expecting better. What's the deal here?
