I cleaned my wife's bling with mine ,I did buy it for finds, but like you said, it's not good on old coins . Have you tried a bullet casing tumbler with a fine walnut medium for your old coins and buttons ? I've even used a very fine dry sand but you need to keep checking the finds ,but to be honest I just clean them with a bit of water and a toothbrush and dry them in the airing cupboard then apply clear shoe wax
Well what I use to clean up my Coins is a Ultra-Vibe 10 and a Ultra -Vibe 45 and I tried the walnut shells but they had a Red coating on the wal shells and that transferred to the coin's and Was hard to get off and then I was trying to do corn cobs and that was too get rid of the red crust that was on the Coins. But now I'm using just dry sand and the Sand is ALOT smaller grain and Will Flow in thru the Screens into the bucket's and ready for another Use...... and the bank will take the coin's now and they're old looking but no dirt and no wasted water 💦 too get rid of... And you can use water but it will take alot longer and To lay out the coin's and dry them all off and the dry sand you can get it at Lowe's and Home Depot but theirs Dust and more caution is needed but this to me is the easiest to do and I also have the ultra sonic and I Use only Distilled Water and not Tap Water...
before you put something in you first must degas the water for a better result. But it works good but don't expect miracles. very nice for a first cleaning of coins
Interesting Scott! Have been thinking to buy one, but have read negative about old coins. Water hmmm. Maybe testing other solutions? Olive oil? Destilled water and lemon juice for silver? What do you think? I'll probably buy one... 🤔
I found this non corrosive fluid.... "Concentrates for SONOREX ultrasonic cleaning baths. Enhances cavitation, cleans intensively, kind to most materials and free from chloride. For use cold or warmed up. TICKOPUR R 27:* Special cleaner, concentrate. Properties: acid pH 1.9 at 1% solution, dosage 1 to 5%. For: glass, steel, rubber, plastic, precious metals, ceramics. Removes: rust, lime scale, mineral residues, silicate, phosphate, cement, urine scale, etc. Tickopur r27 🤔🤷
I guess you can use White Spirit. Just be sure not to heat it up in any way! Above 60 Celsius is flammable! But at room temp no problem. No water, no corrosion.... 🤔🤷 Will have to search more information around this. Ultra sound is interesting! 👍🙏
I just got one of these as well. Used it for the first time today on a toasted silver quarter and a copper token. Did a great job.
Awesome!
Cool. Electrolysis is required for the crusties.
Thanks very interesting.
My pleasure

We use to call those boomers in the Navy. We use to clean teletypes with them. We use to use dry cleaning fluid though as the solution.
I bought a a $20 cleaner from the post office . Works great .

I'd like to see a well used razor cleaned. I've heard they come out clean like new.

Interesting idea using different solutions.
I use a rock tumbler on coins copper and silver or any clad. Would this be better? Or what other method would you recommend?
Stick with a tumbler.
