Finally got a chance to review my Cabela’s Thumler Vibrator Tumbler. I wanted a way to clean up crusty clad coins to make them good enough to spend or turn into my bank. It was my first time using a vibrator tumbler and though I read people use water, it did stain my coins. So I’m going to run it dry next time.
I tried white aquarium gravel as a medium. I’ve read that crushed walnuts works well too. Stainless steel shot looks like a great medium but it’s a tad expensive. For a cleaning agent I used dish soap. I also tried Barkeeper’s Friend and cream of tartar.
