Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good

Was out and about found an old barn found a lot of junk then bingo! I came across an old glass milk bottle it was pretty dirty when I dug it out I could not believe my eyes. It was filled with buffalo nickels dates were 1934, 1936, 1937 and 1930. Took them home and ran then through my ultrasonic cleaner with just distilled water. They all came out with viewable dates and the bottle cleaned up nicely too.

What an outstanding find ! Since you mentioned some dates, check those Buffs for the '36 D 3 1/2 legged Buffalo and the '37 D 3 legged Buffalo. One of those rarities may be in there.

I have an industrial model and use it for cleaning just about everything from tools to auto parts and range find shells. It only took 10 minutes of use to clean up everything. CareWorks makes smaller ones for jewelry which is around 55 bucks. With just dawn dish soap and distilled water everything came out clean without hurting any of the nickles. This is the one I have.

Yup, not that lucky and my stepfather was a coin dealer. A while back I found a 1945P war nickel which contains 35% silver.
