How I clean my metal detecting coins.

I purchased a metal detector about a month ago and have really enjoyed using it. I've dug up quite a bit of coins and want to get them back into circulation but they're just so dirty. I think I've found the perfect solution for cleaning them. The process is fairly simple, here's how.

Thanks for the instructional video! I have the same exact tumbler and have run thousands through it over the past 5-6 years. I only wish I had seen a video like this first!

[@davesnothere5438]

I saw a similar video which is why I tried it 👍

[@DMsMixUp]

They came out good. Might have to do this in the future.

I think it's time to clean ours. Good job. Keep swinging 💯

Thanks! I think it’s good to get them back into circulation 👍

A great video quick idea use pasta strainer with big holes to get rid of the Aquarium rocks With a bowl to catch them on Underneath

[@davesnothere5438]

Good idea! I’ll try that next time. Thanks 👍

Hey just an fyi. I do the same treatment for dug coins. To dry them. Go to a thrift store and buy a small cheap pan and put the rocks and coins on simmer or low on the stove to dry them. It works fantastic.

[@davesnothere5438]

That’s a great idea, I’ll have to try that. Thanks! 👍

Hey what clean coins.. I think I might try CLR this yr... I got a video a few up my last one I put up on how I separate the coins from the gravel, neat little idea I figured out.. Feel free to go over and take a look or not. Keep on digging those coins..

[@davesnothere5438]

Thanks, I’ll check it out

[@notused104]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@raybrock5917]

I clean my coins the same way. The soil around my area turns coins red so it takes at least 24 hours for good results for me.

[@davesnothere5438]

Wow! 24 hrs. I typically let them go for a couple hrs and that seems to be good enough. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

[@raybrock5917]

Pennies clean up quick the clad is much harder to clean I even run cleaning vinegar instead of water speeds up the process.

That tumbler doesn't do a bad job but, I just have to wonder how a ultrasonic cleaner would do.

[@davesnothere5438]

If you find out let me know

[@robdbanque]

Dude, have you ever tried using vinegar, it works just as well. You just need to soak them in it, don’t need to use any electric and you can reuse the same batch more than once. Give it a try.

[@stevestonacek7128]

If you don't separate the copper from the silver the silver coins will all come out copper plated from the pennies

[@davesnothere5438]

You’re absolutely right. I’ve missed a few sometimes and had that happen. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍

Background music is not necessary, it's too loud and distracting!!!

[@davesnothere5438]

I know. It’s one of my earlier videos. I’ve learned much since then. Thanks for the suggestion though

[@WILE-E-DETECTING]

Great video except I could barely hear you over the background music.

[@davesnothere5438]

I know, sorry about that. It’s one of my earlier videos.

[@jinx0192]

Good video but background music is Waay to loud. Hard to hear you. Thanks for the video though. Take care.

[@davesnothere5438]

Thank you for watching and commenting. That video was an early one I did and you’re right, the music is way too loud.

[@jinx0192]

@@davesnothere5438 No problem. Again great video, and thank you for taking the time out of your life to share your experience with this product. This is what makes CZcams so great and such a valuable resource. Again thank you.

Looks like you are using the kitchen sink? Be carful of your fish tank rocks don’t go down into the disposal! It could cause it to jam. I use a spare sink I have in the basement with no disposal.

[@davesnothere5438]

Thanks for the heads up. My sink doesn’t have a disposal, but I’m pretty careful with the stones anyways. I wish I had a sink in the basement

Background music not needed
