    I’m not so sure about the results Vic. No medium for abrasion wears the faces of the coins down. Adding abrasives like sand would surely just accelerate the degradation of the coins. Maybe something small and not as harsh as sand, like rubber or plastic beads with some very fine abrasive like toothpaste or even pipe clay? Run for a few hours and check progress? Maybe you can avoid the damage some other way by filling the void with more coins or a few squash balls? I don’t know, just thinking out loud and voicing my thoughts. Definitely an interesting upload from your regular content. Cheers mate 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺 Edit: those gel blaster balls with a few spoonfuls of toothpaste would be worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

    If the coin were worth lots of money, then you would never use a Tumbler. It's more to clean them up a bit. But you are right. Need something softer like plastic beads.

    @@MurrayRiversGoldAdventures yeah, you’d have to have rocks in your head to put coins of any value in a tumbler. I think a sonic cleaner would be your only approach for that. Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t cleaning of rare coins depreciate their value anyway? If you’re just looking to tidy up “worthless” coins to display or similar, then I think the tumbler option could be useful with a slightly different approach. Cheers 🍻🍻🍻🇦🇺

What I have jsut told you is actually basic recovery knowledge, if you can#t be bothered to improve, then don't do the thing in the first place. Simple facts here, you may have got out, but there are much better ways of doing it, one day, that shortcut might be the rope through your screen or someone's arm, the plan is educaton, do better and show you are actually learning. Putting a tree strop somewhere accessible inn the vehicle is not difficult, it can also be a life saver. Go talk to anyone in the 4x4 recovery world and they will mirror what I've told you. Obviously, if you don't take the advice, then you are proving you are a bit of an idiot and don't care about yourself or the environment you are using.
