Baking soda method

This is a very easy to do cleaning method. However, it doesn't work on everything, and it is mostly used to clean old silver coins that you find in the ground. Just wet the silver coin and dip it in some baking soda and clean it with an old toothbrush. This will take the tarnish off, and make your silvercoin shiny without scratching it.

Tumbling method

Use a rock tumbler if you want to clean lots of old silver coins at once! All those clad coins you've been finding! It will cost you around $60.00 for a rock tumbler, or you might be able to find a cheaper one on Ebay.

Ammonia method

Fill a small jar with ammonia, add your silver coins or rounds, put on the lid and let sit for awhile. Open it up later and polish each piece with a soft cloth. This works best for gold. We have tried old silver coins that we found in the salt water, but afterwards you need to use the baking soda and a toothbrush also to get all the black off.
