- What to do with all those coins you find at the beach. I used my rock tumbler to clean them and turned them into cash!
I was not sure what to do with all those coins. They were dirty, sticky and crusted over. I decided to use my tumbler and it worked like a charm.
There are a lot of ways to clean the coins and I gave the tumbler a try and was very satisfied with the results. I would NEVER do this with a coin I valued. But, it sure made it easy to dispose of them for some green stuff.

First time trying to clean my beach finds (coins) with a rock tumbler. Worked well...
separate the pennies from the other clad the results will be better otherwise the pennies turn your clad pink. I use regular fish tank gravel and dawn dish soap, vinegar, CLR, and salt the coins come out like new.
Great advise...Thank you very much. I will def give that a try in the future. Cheers
Cool beans - good job!
Beans? You mean coins...lol...thanks
Hi Bill and Christine. I hope this is the right place for your Secret! I started tumbling rocks from my country road driveway. I have a Harbor Freight double tumbler. It is O.k. Yours would be a great addition and a better one of course. I would enjoy wearing some of your apparel. Thanks. The Dove Lady, Candice😁😁
Stainless steel beads with dawn dish soap tumbled for 10 minutes cleans coins pretty good it’s a good idea to separate pennies from other coins
Robert, Thank you...that is great info and I will def try it next time. Any idea how big the beads should be?
@@DigginSoCal yes 1/8 inch stainless steel shot for tumbling for jewelers on Amazon little pricey but lasts forever
@@roberttucker181 Thanks again....I appreciate the intel
Robert, this may seem like a dumb question, but can you reuse the beads? Also what tumbler do you guys recommend? Thanks
@@disme556 yes you can reuse them indefinitely just use a strainer to separate the coins from the stainless media then rinse the soap out of the stainless steel shot let it dry and reuse that little 3 lb loritone tumber is great or go to harbor freight and get their tumbler it’s cheaper but works fine just won’t last as long
Thats cool. If i had dirty change i would have you tumble it. Thanks for sharing
😂 Money Laundering 😂 I Use a Ultra Vibe 10 and Dry Sand and no waiting for the Coin to get Dry from laundering
DSC, I also use a rock tumbler to clean my coins, I use stainless steel shot, works great, and you can use the shot over, and over, it never go bad.
Happy New Year, I hope that your New Year finds consist of coins and gold.
Thanks for the info....Happy New Year
Good Nice 👏👍
Thanks
Just bought a rock tumbler cant wait to try it looks like your method worked good.
Thanks....It did...check out Robert's comment. I will try that method next time.
I have 2 ultra vibe 10's and a Ultra Vibe 45 that I use to clean my Coins and I Use Dry Sand and no water 💦 and I don't have to wait for it to get Dry and the 10 is light enough to just take off the lid and pour the sand out into the strainer and shake and not disassemble it like that tumbler and the 45 I could put almost a 5 gallon bucket of coins in it but I haven't found that much yet to hold on to, but I have found that Dry silica sand like you will use for Sand Blasting and Lowe's and Home Depot Carry It and I have used corn cobs and walnut shells but the shell's Had a Red coating on it and it turned the coin's Red and stuck on the coin and also hard to get off but no water 💧 and They Was bought At Cabela's now Bass Pro the Ultra Vibe 10......
I have tumbled agates for many years,so I always throw a few in with the coins.Works well enough.
Good info. Thank you
You might talk to your bank when things settle down. Some will exchange the crusty for new and send old to mint
Santa brought me a tumbler for Christmas. Looking forward to tumbling my clad 😃
Cool...GL and share the results...also, there have been many great suggestions on what to use with the tumbler in the comments. Worth checking out
Get a ultra vibe 10 and Dry Sand and the coin's don't tumble on top of each other and get any damages like they do from the tumbler and No MORE waiting for them to get Dry from using water 💦 and having a table big enough to spread out the coin's, just need a sifter and a bucket 🪣 and after a couple of shakes the Sand falls in the bucket and ready for the next time it's needed
They work great those tumblers :)
Yes they do...glad I tried it
Great results using the tumbler.
Cool job
thank you
I love that tumbler of yours. Did a great job of cleaning.
Thanks....If you ever get one, check out some of the great suggestions on how to clean coins in these comments.
Now I would like to get a rock tumbler for the coins..They came out pretty good..
It sure made it easy....
Super fast way: rinse dirt off in a strainer: separate nickels and pennies: put quarters and dimes together in the drum, teaspoon of salt, 1/8 cup dawn power wash, 1/8 cup vinegar, 30 mins tumble time, coin machine ready...
👍👍that takes all the hard work out of cleaning the spendables's, good idea the jar, see how much you guys find in a year 👍👍
Thanks...we are starting the year off right...coins are filling the jar fast....
I tumble coins. Have tried many methods including Sand alone, black cinder alone, vinegar and salt brine works but can give you pink :) quarters if coins aren't separated (electrolysis). Also coin on coin rubbing (doesn't work well), heck I even tried adding Heinz Ketchup as someone said it works. :)
I would laugh about the ketchup but I was told to try tabasco before...lol..Thanks & Happy New year
I need to get a tumbler.
Yes you do...they are pretty cool
Ultra Vibe 10 and Dry Sand
Works great. (My wife would prefer I quit calling it "money laundering" though!
Video top amigo parabéns tamo junto feliz 2021 abraço.
Thank you very much....Happy New Year
I wish I could cash in all my useless coins I have a ton literally LOL. Have a wonderful new year my friend
Thank you & Happy New Year
I Use the Ultra Vibe 10 and dry sand to get the coin's clean and No Water and I have heard that the Mint will take them back and give you money for them but I haven't checked it out yet but it was on one of the Video's that I watched that they were talking about it and but I don't live anywhere near the Mint but the dry sand will get them clean and I have also used a electric Wire Wheel brush just to get the roughest junk off and then into the ultra vibe 10
Do you have any methods without the tumbler? I Just started detecting and still working on getting other stuff I need/want lol
I am still trying to figure out the best way to clean coins without the tumbler. Some have made comments on this thread on how they clean them. I sort out all the spendable coins and tumble the bad ones. If you figure out a good way, let me know...I will do the same
Ultra Vibe 10 and dry sand and No Water and I bought them At Cabela's and Now Bass Pro in the Ammunition and Reloading Section but wasn't close to the ammo but upstairs at the Cabela's that I was At and the Sand you can get it from Lowe's and Home Depot and I have been using the Sand Blasting Silica Sand and the playground Sand that they also sell there
Hi bill you should not do the coppers and silver coins together as they will all turn copper coloured
Why on earth would you ever use a coinstar to trade your coins in. I feel it's alot of work digging holes and 0 chance I'll give anyone a % of it. All banks now have coin machines. Even if don't have a bank you can set up a savings acct for 5 bucks. C'mon guys don't ever use coinstar
