Hi Tony, I do it the same way, but for the rinse I picked up a bowl strianer at the thift store and took a 1/4 inch drill bit to ream the holes big anough for the rocks to get through. Makes the separation of the coins from dirt and gravel really easy. Thanks for the video. HH
Great video, very helpful..I detect in Oz, I probably got about AUD$500 dollars last year. I just take them straight to the bank as they are and put them in the coin deposit machine. Keep on swingin'
just came across this. Stay away from coinstar. Your bank should have no problem taking your coins. But...if you don't go through your coins and check them out you might be losing out big time. Buy a $10 scale to weigh your individual coins. A 1983 Lincoln penny that weighs 3.1 grams is worth up to $15,000 due to a higher copper content. Most weigh between 2.7 and 2.8 grams. Another thing is to just look at them. If they've been minted off center or double struck those are worth some money. And it happens more than you would think. In my change I got back from the store I found a 1969 D penny that's worth $100 because of an error. And I also got a 1993 penny that's off center and worth probably $10. There are plenty of them out there and you sure can offset your costs just by taking a few extra minutes with your finds.
Same exact method I use and tumbler bud, very nice! And great job pointing out, separating the pennies, not alot of people add that! 👍 I didn't tumble mine yet this year, Keep up the great work!!
I didn't dig much clad this year...mostly pennies...wheat pennies....last year i ran a rock tumbler with soapy water and brass bb's.....for an hour....had over 56 dollars if i remember right....loved the bb method
I found 2 credit unions in town that have coin counters ... free to account holders. I use them as "dump" banks for MD clad and coin roll hunting leftovers.
I bought a detector around the year of 2011 when I retired from work. It cost me like $900.00. After about 6 months of that year I found like $417.00 the next year I found like $ 357.00 . It took about 3 years by the time it paid for my detector. I had some good years where I made like $ 500.00 to $700.00 dollars a year. So I save my detecting money every year and after about 8 years of detecting I now have a little over $8,000.00 dollars. I do try to go detecting 4 to 5 times a week in the summer time also started to do a little bet of detecting in the winter time if the weather is not too cold out. I don't find much in the winter but it helps a bet before the month of May to November which is my metal detecting months that I try to do most of my detecting. That detecting money is what I use for buying things. I just used a little of it to buy a new fisher f75 since my old detector is starting to fall apart. I clean my coins about every 2 years & cash them in at the bank for paper money. Some of my really bad coins I will clean them buy useing a sos pad. Some of the coins that are not too dirty I will put them in a plastic container and fill it up with dish soap & some easy off oven cleaner then I will shake the container for about half an hour by hand. then I will dump them out in my sink and rinse them off & dry them. They come out like new. Since cov 19 has come out I don"t find as much coins on the beach these days. I use to find like $20 to 30 dollars once a week not any more.
Good video..I used to pour my dirty water down the drain like you..but got worried about too much residue buildup in pipes, so I use a strainer in the bowl, carry it outside and rinse using o/s faucet! I find a lot of coins, was probably averaging 20-30 a week in summer.
I just started this weekend, found $27 and change at a site that hosts an outdoor arts festival down the street from my house. I don’t think anyone has ever detected at this location, found it all in just one corner of the property, still have a lot more to search.
Thanks. I bought a vibratory tumbler and use stainless steel shot with a special “detergent”. Miraculous results. I use it to clean junk silver to make into jewelry. Some guys use them for reloading cartridges. I used a metal detector about 45 years ago. I only did it for a year but I still have that jar of coins, ceramic marbles, tokens, etc. so tempting to clean them but I won’t. I live across the street from a popular park. I bury older foreign coins there to watch the hobbyists find them. They sometimes stand there scratching their heads. 😂
I have been cleaning clad coins like that since the 80's . It works great as a Tool. but never use it for valuable relics and coins. takes the patina off especially Wheat backs and turns it to a dull orange color. some Buttons is ok but not the two or three piece buttons. I haven't got out much in the past years so i just stick the clad coins in a coinstar to get rid of them. Merry Christmas Thanks AL
Great video. I just ordered 2 of the single barrel tumblers. I ended the year with $1370 US in clad but only $250 is in spendable condition. So i have a lot of cleaning to do.
I didn't really clean my clad I just rolled it up and deposited it in the bank I made 69.82 this year it looks like a good idea to clean it up I might just have to look in to getting a tumbler for my self thanks for sharing and HH Kyle
great video. I use the same tumbler (today price $67) and Jewlers stainless steel shot. I run mine twice because the first runoff in filthy. I dump mine from the tumbler into a large wire colander that I got at Dollar Tree for a $1.25.
Hey great video man. I bought a tumbler a couple months ago but haven't used yet. This was informative for me and I'm sure for many others. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I use stainless steal ball bearing. I only have one tub tumbler. So I put in soap n vinegar as you do. Only difference is I dump this content into a small sifter that you would use for sifting flour. Rinse the content than just shake the strainer and watch how the coins rise to the top. After removing the coins. I let the ball bearings and tub air dry. One Ryan the bearings go back into tub ready for the next leaning.
I tumble mine with aquarium gravel with water no soap too many suds. Whoa! I paid the same price for my single cylinder WT! $95 of quarters, dimes & a few nickels this year.
I use lime or lemon juice and salt. This seems to work pretty good for me. It looks like I am pushing about 100 dollars in clad this year. Happy holidays Tony.
I've been digging since 1974! I have several buckets full of clad to tumble! LOL I was hunting before clad existed! If I'd had the quality equipment back then we do today I'd be rich!
Well, I cashed in my clad coins at the eco-ATM for the year I was at $250 give or take a few dollars. With my silver half dollars I found that I did not cash in the face value of all of them would be $120. But they are of course, 90% silver, those are in my collection now. How do you clean silver properly without damaging any of the collector value?
Got to get me a tumbler got about years of dirty clad to clean but so far on recent drops 52.19 hanks for the tip Tony ordering me a tumbler and start cleaning the rest lol
You refer to the coins as "clad." Does this mean yo have sorted through and removed any pre-1965 silver coins and any other coins that may have numismatic value? I'm new to your channel, and these were my first thoughts when watching this video. Thanks.
Exactly. These are regular coins found while metal detecting that need cleaning before putting them back into circulation. That is what I mean by CLAD. Thanks for watching and I hope you stick around and find some more videos that you enjoy. Take care Bob .
I started using you method with vinegar, and then saw another video use lime-away( gravel and dawn). It seems to work better, esp. on corroded pennies. I tumble 10 minutes and they look great. I have same tumbler, but don't overload the barrels. They really do mean 3lbs max or you would damage tumbler.
Most of Canadian clad is not copper based, so I really pick few of them since I look for silver and copper. I got around 15 bucks US. Most of my Canadian clad is recent surface drops. Looks like there is good 200 bucks in the jar. We have a loonie/toonie advantage though. Most of that clad is washed and will be spend. The nasty ones will go into parking meters and other machines. Sometimes they look at them funny at Starbucks lol.
Have a Merry Christmas Tony! Also, I tried to build a DIY rock tumbler but its not nearly as water tight. Maybe I should check out Harbor Freight, thanks for the tip!
Hey Tony...great tip...I'll have to break out the tumbler. $147.45 for me and that's not counting my pennies. Good luck fishing today and again Merry Christmas.
I'm not trying to brag but I get those amount of coins in about a month or less but I'm retired and I go out almost every day that it's nice I go out in the rain and I've been out in the cold too so I don't really stop for the weather I keep a log I go around to schools elementary junior high and high schools loads of coins and jewelry. I'm retired on a fixed income so I cash my coins every month my worst months are in the winter but I still pull 60 or 70 dollars and. I'm able to walk 10 12 13 mi a day once I start finding I'll go till I drop been at it for 12 years since I became disabled. Over 1,200 last year my best find is $20 gold pc 1150 dollars many gold wedding rings 2 wedding rings. I don't count the money that I find on the ground folding money and it's been awesome. I usually thank Jesus with every find maybe not pennies. Unless they are Indian head.
Let the bank clean them. They need 2. We work enough 4 the money system. And banks represent that FUBAR system. Let them do somthing, other than adding 1's & 0's to a fake ledger in the system. Luv ur vid.
@@5280Adventures There is a channel that uses it in an ultrasonic cleaner for jewelry with that exact same name. The formula for the solution itself is currently unknown but should be available soon.
Well you won't believe me but I detect in florida as for just change in a yr me and my uncle average around 268.00 but in scrap aluminum brass copper 524.89 and silver gold in 2019 a total 3492.00 all most 4500 in a yr.but I'm not like most people.i look at e very coin and check value e very ring same then I smelt all silver brass copper aluminum and gold that I dont sale into ingots and then sale it or hold on to it.now I'll show you a pic of a mth challenge we did with a class we use to go to.it was March all state hunt parks bus stops beaches home steads more will be in pic.
Sooo... I watched your video because the coins were sure sparkly in the thumbnail pic. I assumed you must be doing something different than me. Nope. Just using an image of coins that were never dirty in the first place.
EASY WAY TO CLEAN UP THOSE BUTTONS FOUND WHILE METAL DETECTING: ruclips.net/video/rxc_fAT6T3w/видео.html
In 2019 I found a gallon glass jar filled to the rim with $20 gold coins! Then the alarm went off and I had to wake-up and went to work. :-(
At least you can be rich in your mind every night!
Use lemon juice straight out of the bottle into a bowl and leave to soak overnight you'll be amazed . 🤞 and happy digging from across the pond UK

Tumblers are amazing for cleaning all of that nasty clad! Ive been using the same tumbler you have for 5 years!
Very interesting video. I use vinegar, dawn dish soap and simple green with a soft toothbrush. Keep on doing what you do.😎👍👍👌👌⛏⛏
I have the same tumbler. It works great....one note...be sure you don't exceed 3 pounds per drum...you could burn out your motor.
Awesome tip! Dont want to have to go buy another. Thanks for watching.
Great idea,I found close to $150.00 started hunting March 2022 till now...and still counting..Good Luck everyone ...TREASURES ARE EVERYWHERE :)
I didn't really clean my clad I just rolled it up and deposited it in the bank I made 69.82 this year it looks like a good idea to clean it up I might just have to look in to getting a tumbler for my self thanks for sharing and HH

I clean mine basically the same way you clean yours with the rock tumbler. Merry Christmas to you and yours
I use a magnetic tumbler
great video. I use the same tumbler (today price $67) and Jewlers stainless steel shot. I run mine twice because the first runoff in filthy. I dump mine from the tumbler into a large wire colander that I got at Dollar Tree for a $1.25.

If it is just clad i use a brass wire wheel and a dremel tool
I tumble mine with aquarium gravel with water no soap too many suds. Whoa! I paid the same price for my single cylinder WT! $95 of quarters, dimes & a few nickels this year.
What’s the economical method?
Cool, hopefully I'll need to be using this technique soon. Hope to be out sweeping tomorrow if Amazon gets here early enough
I use lime or lemon juice and salt. This seems to work pretty good for me. It looks like I am pushing about 100 dollars in clad this year. Happy holidays Tony.
I've got coins I dug up 40 years ago and never cleaned them yet.
Enjoyed the episode 👍
I've been digging since 1974! I have several buckets full of clad to tumble! LOL I was hunting before clad existed! If I'd had the quality equipment back then we do today I'd be rich!
Cleaned mine same as you, with the same tumbler. Took to our bank which has a coin counter.
Small world! LOL Same exact thing that I do. Use what they give ya!

I would not clean silver if you want to maintain the collector value.
I have around 200 in clad. I use aquarium gravel, a couple drops of dish soap and three caps of ammonia.
+Richard Stewart Wow killer year! Great job.
Thanks for sharing Boss man Yay last nite my internet must of been on the holiday already
Just got that same tumbler for the wife for Christmas will let you know how it works out.
Got to get me a tumbler got about years of dirty clad to clean but so far on recent drops 52.19 hanks for the tip Tony ordering me a tumbler and start cleaning the rest lol
Just my opinion but you need more gravel and let it run for a min of 2 hrs

What is Forbidden Gatorade?

Gotcha. I will have to search that out. Always learning new stuff. Thank you!
Soap and tumbler$ 330
I use ketchup on penny’s great videos as always
Cashed in two times this year already $50 something $73 something I don't clean them and the bank doesn't like it 😎
SAME METHOD I USE EXCEPT I ADD A SQUIRT OF BRASSO a liquid metal cleaner IT GIVES THEM A SHINY APPEARANCE KEEPS THE BANK HAPPY
I will have to check that out. Thank you for the suggestion. Take care!
We used Brasso in the Army. I was going to get some to use on a brass Jillian's game token.
How do you cash in?
Roll the clad coins you find and take them to your bank.

I’ll have to tell my dad he has a bunch of coins
why not pore it into a strainer?
The aquarium gravel will go through the strainer and into the drain. I save the gravel to reuse.
I found a lot of pull-tabs
What a colossal waste of time...

Don’t do it
Cleaning the clad to turn it back it into the bank sometimes is essential.
