I am really having fun with this. Spent about an hour in the 2 playgrounds down the street. They are only about 20 x 40 maybe. I know this is a stupid ? but how do you all clean this stuff. I didn't even consider the fact that it was coming out of the ground when I started this th'ing. Duh!

A lot of us use rock tumblers. Lots of variations on what to use but we all agree, don't clean any old coins that might have value. I throw a small pile in wit some playground sand and a little dishsoap and water and they come out fine in about an hour. Fine enough for clad! Good stuff!

The tumbler with sand and dish soap works great. Before I put them in the tumbler I put them in a cup or bowl with baking soda then add vinegar, and let them soak for the night. It helps to give them a good start.

I haven't cleaned any of mine. I only got about a hundred bucks so far. I just throw in separate jars and when I get about 1000 bucks worth I'll get a tumbler and spend a week shining them up. I figure by that time I can get a new detector with the cash.

I've been taking mine to the local grocery store and throwing it lump sum into the Coinstar machine. Those guys get me for 10%, for that they can do the cleaning. P.S.- I always take a hard look at the coins first to make sure it's just cheap clad! Have fun~CO2

I throw my clad in a vibratory ammo tumbler with a little media. Works ok. Spotz
