Watch restorers use these
Comment from : @leechjim8023

You need jewelry cleaning solutionfor them to work And it does work but you have to leave them in for quite a long time
Comment from : @Goldstacker1972-kp2bh

As bad shape as all those coins are in I’d be really surprised if any of those clean up nicely I wish they were in a little bit better condition
Comment from : @everettwhite9874

Maybe you need washing dishes soap or coins soap etc but thanks for showing
Comment from : @kamakoa

Thx for the video Sal I actually had considered buying one of these but after watching this video I’ll pass Thx for saving me a few bucks
Comment from : @deanr1963

Why would it do better on a ring than something that's dirty? I got a lot of help from the comments of the viewers I'm guessing steam distilled water and a little ammonia is the ticket No one said anything about water, peroxide and vinegar That should clean anything
Comment from : @claytonsimplot9554

You need to use the ultra sonic cleaning solution for jewelry !!!
Comment from : @RickyD1968

You put the worst coins possible in this, with substances on them that are outside of what ultra-sonics addresses Why not clean a typical circulated coin that is full of dirt and grime, and that would otherwise be a great coin once the dirt and crud are removed Remember, "cleaning" a coin means damaging it, but removing dirt and crud from a coin (without damaging/altering its surfaces) actually improves a coin, and can add to its long term preservation

And plastic stop alot the frequency we switch to wire
Comment from : @lagomyeggo

I like the truth about itI used to work in an ultrasonic clean department to clean cnc parts maid of graphite It depends on how strong you are putting out your ultrsonic frequency and using di water, and it might mess the cosmetics of the coin
Comment from : @lagomyeggo

Used a table spoon of ammonia hot water and drop of dawn
Comment from : @kevinrivera1492

THEY ARE SOLID!!!!!!
Comment from : @srryabturdaughter

Which of these does the least damage to coins? Zest or acetone Thanks
Comment from : @barrymaness5814

These things are used to clean intricate carburetors to new! A watched pot doesn't boil! Patience Paddywon!
Comment from : @robertrettig7110

Use warm water and a bit of dawn, leave for awhilego read a book, give it a chance to work!
Comment from : @robertrettig7110

What if you use this to rinse after the chemical cleaners?
Comment from : @ryanhubler16

I got a similar one for a first round cleaning of dug Roman coins I also did my glasses Works really well
Comment from : @IvanButtkoff

You should add a few drops of dawn and run a couple times it cleans dirty jewelry in nooks and crannies well
Comment from : @truthslayerone264

I have been using a ultrasonic cleaner with a 2 molar solution of hydrochloric acid to clean my coins It removes tarnish and makes them bright and shinny again
Comment from : @Zealor365

It’ll remove the accumulated gunk from eyeglasses nose-pieces, and dirt from watch bands
Comment from : @charlestravis9798

Is there any way to clean dark buffalo nickels?
Comment from : @richardfroste4548

These machines only loosen dirt! They don’t clean or remove tape! You have to scrub the coins to get them clean!
Comment from : @williamlouis5011

That water has to be HOT!!
Comment from : @bigjohn387

FYI I read that gems in jewelry could be damaged by ulrasonic cleaners For example an inclusion may become a crack
Comment from : @particlemanyego

awesome,I think I will try this cleaner machine for my old rings
Comment from : @钟小凡

pffft men dont read instructions
Comment from : @Leafbinder

Former lab guy here I used to use a 50/50 mix of acetone and xylene to clean coworkers rings and stuff Worked shockingly well They were so happy with the change
Comment from : @richardoleson7934

I use one at work to clean up parts for a Wire EDM machine (CNC machine that uses electrical discharge to spark erode metal, in the process produces tiny chips as recast) as part of routine maintenance Just water, or even a weak surfactant like dawn wouldn't do much I usually add a bit of lime away (a cleaning product with a slight acidic constitution) in the water In my case that works flawlessly for most parts In some cases the recast can be so thick you'll want to chip it off first Something my cleaner has is a heater because you do get better results with warmer water Another warning I'd add to you comment about "doing it a lot of times" the ultrasonic transducer (like a speaker but doesn't speak) can overheat if you use it too much That's one reason why they put a 4 minute timer on it I usually try to give mine a break after half hour of use and hasn't died like an earlier unit I had
Comment from : @Pyrolonn

Could you use acetone for the liquid?
Comment from : @AlvinUselton

I do know 1 person who would use sonic for all his barber quarters and halves He used distilled water and ammonia What he liked was that it would take off "excessive" dirt and grime and leave a vg or fine as a nicer vg or fine without that "cleaned or polished look" Yes he said it had to be done several times as well
Comment from : @RobertLee-wi5kc

Wouldn't distilled water be better?
Comment from : @RobertLee-wi5kc

Yours for sale?
Comment from : @mrtrapper93

Any chemical that is used to clean coins you don't want get on gem stones This machine is designed to clean dirt off of objects If you had a nice coin with just a small amount grime it would likely remove it; without getting a "cleaned" grading Also, after the first attempt with the tape, why didn't you try and pull it off? The machine might make it easier to get off Here is another thought: buy a special microfiber cloth made for cleaning eyeglasses You can wipe the cion with it without leaving scratches I've used ultrasound to clean dirt off of small stone archaeological finds with success But sometimes you have to do some of the work
Comment from : @bobporch

I use a vibratory tumbler with Shine Brite for my Mercury dimes I make them into pins that I like to include with a tip I also use it for copper pennies I’ve presoaked in salicylic acid My half gallon mason jars of pennies shine Some I lay out in a type cabinet to redden them up I like to experiment with toning and would like to learn more about imbedding them in resin for tiling I’ve used copper nails to fasten copper sheets to divert rainwater and use epoxy to dress the heads with wheaties Yes, I’m a nut
Comment from : @martinphilip8998

Looks like that gadget is pretty much a fail for coin cleaning
Comment from : @iamgabriel5823

Could you try this with some ground dug coins? Your videos are very helpful Thanks
Comment from : @iamhayes9317

Does acetone make it a cleaned coin
Comment from : @countrygalweaver6300

Those don't work for crap for metal detecting finds either The chemical reactions in the dirt are worse than being exposed to the air due to iron content, lawn fertilizer etc
Comment from : @sixystyle

Took an ANA grading class at one of the Long Beach coins shows The NGC teacher suggested Parsons Ammonia for cleaning dirt from silver I sometimes use it on my coins with gunk built up in the legends It does work but takes about half to an hour of run time I also put the coins in the holders from cracked open slabs This prevents the coins from vibrating on the hard plastic basket Great for jewelry; gets the hand lotion crap that my wife uses Dawn or the Parsons Ammonia are the two 'chemicals' I use in the ultrasonic
Comment from : @johnfriend240

It's a coin massager 😂
Comment from : @TheSteveBoyd

THANKS for testing this
Comment from : @allanfifield8256

Kinda reminds me of my foot bath/ massagermaybe I should throw a couple nickels in there next time😂😂😂
Comment from : @jp27whodey31

There great to clean glasses just a drop of dawn
Comment from : @TheWardog1701

try Isoproply Alcohol Above 90 it works great leave it in for 30-45 minutes
Comment from : @andrewbirdsong6966

We use ultrasonic cleaners in the hospital But, our units are much stronger We clean heavily soiled stainless steel surgical instruments They are cleaned very nicely by the units we use Much bigger and much stronger
Comment from : @macarioacosta7767

I use my ultrasonic cleaner to clean 90 constitutional silver Those are not intended to be anything other than silver content and potential barter coins for me However if you buy them in bulk, you get the "been in a pocket" smell that is unique to used coins A little dawn in warm water in the ultrasonic and let them dry on a towel No more smell and tube them up for storage
Comment from : @davidward1259

I never use tap water, as the chlorine will tone the coins Best to use distilled water
Comment from : @vernowen2083

Seems to me you could fill the cleaner with acetone or some safe coin dip (I have heard of a few that might be safe) Shouldn't be a problem reclaiming the left over liquid filtered through a coffee filter of similar
Comment from : @antoniolen-rios8482

The dude 😎
Comment from : @DustanThedell-xk1zn

Not for me I like the history! Cleaning erases that
Comment from : @scotthansen9081

I have a feeling the difference between cleanings is the metal the coins are made of compared to the jewelry Have you tried using the Sonic Cleaner on any gold coins? Dawn is a good detergent, but the Sonic Cleaner may need a more thorough cleaner As far as the coins you used the Sonic Cleaner on, the Sonic Cleaner won't remove corrosion, rust or other adherents to the coins, such as glue residue or paint
Comment from : @alberthanson1971

Cheap ultrasonic cleaners provide you little benefit due the frequency A lab cleaner is designed to do the job! You get what you pay for with such devices and forget made in china
Comment from : @joewebster903

I have often wondered what a sonic cleaner would do for coins as you demonstrated not much difference in the coins but I do think the ring was a lot better
Comment from : @cweedcoins1640

That's a cheaply built sonic cleaner With that said, I wouldn't use it for coins I'd use it for cleaning guns but not coins
Comment from : @troytheman666

I always use mine for jewelry only Dawn is my go to for most things, just not coinsbrNever thought to put coins in it Another good video, thanks Daniel
Comment from : @ShirlBussman

Sonic cleaners work great for cleaning imbedded debris the machine they sent you sucks a real sonic cleaner is much quieter and runs in 1-12hr intervals not minutes that machine just seems like a hassle
Comment from : @TheShmeebitdog

Instead of water, put acetone in bath
Comment from : @johnhenderson9817

I use an ultrasound cleaner for my dime box coins - just to get the crud off In addition i use some hand soap to get dirt off It will not remove toning or oxidation Need to be careful in drying coins especially copper as they will tone if you rub them too much
Comment from : @perschenck6216

I have an 1887-O Morgan silver dollar that looks to have been silver-plated while it was in a belt buckle It looks awful and I’d like to remove the diver plating How do you remove silver plate from a coin? It’s driving me a little crazy
Comment from : @tjanderson575

Read the instructions again 🤣
Comment from : @murlbailer3755

I bought one and have never used it Mine is battery operated No basket Don’t know how well it will work? 😮
Comment from : @murlbailer3755

Ultrasonic cleaners are great for jewelry You should just need 1 cycle to clean something But what it is that you are cleaning is oils and dirt Not corrosion, environmental damage Put 4-5 well worn tennis bracelets with all their cracks and crevices in there and that water will be quite dirty
Comment from : @michaeldenison7339

You’d have to use a solvent to break down the adhesive on the tape 🤦
Comment from : @cincyjohn69

It was great talking to you GO STEELERS!😅
Comment from : @danieldevite668

When I used to work at a pawn shop will you put lemon pneumonia clean over gold jewelry it came out looking new
Comment from : @PaulSmith-uu9cf

It was worth a try! Would probably be great for extremely delicate cleaning purposes And definitely for jewelry and similar items Thanks for sharing Daniel Hope you have a great day as well! 😎👍👍
Comment from : @phillipthiebjord

Those cleaning machines work well but sometimes on some coins you have to clean them a lot longer than normal!!
Comment from : @zebcherry

Try some car wash powdered soap in it as it works well on coins anyway turns black coins lighter wo removing patina entirely like ezest does ❤
Comment from : @dondesnoo1771

This item will burn up and die in less than a year It is only designed to clean jewelry once in a while I recommend putting more dawn in like fill the circle inside with Dawn and hot water Stir the solution so the Dawn is fully dissolved and you will get better results It will tone stain Peace dollars and 1921 Morgans badly so I would never recommend putting silver dollars in this device Very nice item for cleaning your ring or even your glasses Coins not so much
Comment from : @chaicharin

Try acitone 50 and waterand maybe send one to PCGS to see what they grade????
Comment from : @markkaidy8741

I tried my water flosser on some junk Roman coins from Amazon Didn’t help either
Comment from : @jimk2099

Coins no Jewelry YES! Thanks for the video
Comment from : @darbysdownhomedetecting

Try hot water and a little vinegar
Comment from : @horkneeoldman

you need more soap
Comment from : @dank6905

Ultrasonic cleaners are very useful For example for teeth cleaning, the dentist uses a handheld ultrasonic descaler instrument to vibrate off accumulated tartar which is hardened plaque that has encrusted onto teeth A stream of water is also used to flush away the debris
Comment from : @jadenephrite

put more soap inbrthey work really good if you use it right
Comment from : @dank6905

So odd!! I just watched a video yday of a guy using a ultra sonic cleaner and it made no difference in his coins
Comment from : @945hilo

its very clear that one coin is on indianhead nickel
Comment from : @dank6905

I'll bet the manufacturer isn't going to be real happy with your review But I thank you for being honest and fair 👍
Comment from : @scotts1356

Needs a little more ultra!
Comment from : @ronmueller1164

I've heard about ultrasonic cleaners brAt least we know it will get your coins completely wet, and that's a pretty big change considering they were dry before treating them with the ultrasonic machine 😊😅😂brSeriously though, it was interesting Thank you for taking the time to share this with us 👏👍
Comment from : @lindanelson8400

✳️ thanks again for your show 🌻 Good Morning 🌄 and have a great day ✳️
Comment from : @JohnnyCollins-cv4gx

These machines are good for shaking off dirt and grime typically transfered from skin to jewellery They don't fix toning, glue or cemented dirt You also have to use warm to hot water and leave them shaking for at least 30 mins
