[QUOTE="AussieTreasureDigger, post: 11275, member: 597"] I use a tumbler on the coppers (i am putting together a vid on this) and Bicarb and some good old finger work on the silvers. The latter method cleans up the 1910-1945 silvers better than the 1946> on the later ones i use some Lectra washing soda foil and warm water. There's some video coming up on the cleaning, and yes i know the purests dont like the coins cleaned but they are my coins and have mostly been well used and in the ground for 100+ years and worth 11/10 of jack.
