I avoid cleaning silver chains unless they are on the larger side, rings without stones are okay to tumble on low settings. This is a jewelry polisher tumbler but many items should be cleaned ultra-sonically.

@funwithjim hi I don't do dainty small all my silver is chunky. And I don't have stones. I wouldn't dare try cleaning a gold diamond ring in there I use ultrasonic for thst. Awesome so will be fine for my chunky silver stuff. So water shot and some dish soap anything else ? . Thanx for replying appreciated

Best machine is subjective, I would research the Equinox, Manticore, Deus 2, Legend and see what machines people are using in your area. I like the Equinox for our SO Cal beaches

Deus 2 testing is pretty much complete, the discrimination and all the different settings are great but in XP's attempt to cancel out bottle caps and iron and not creating an easy all metal option that will run stable is my biggest complaint. I know the targets in my area get masked by the iron rich black sands, my equinox allows for all metal mode to run stable on iron rich sand and it will notify me when I am over metal deep but the tones and display is iron even though it is a deep good target. My Deus 2 does not hear those deep iron targets my nox does and that alone is why I exclusively have been using the NOX in those conditions. But, if I am discriminating out iron and rejecting the iron rich black sands, my deus 2 can handle very rich black sand that the NOX cannot but you are not detecting very deep. I am looking forward to finding those conditions again on our beaches so I can show everyone how good the Deus 2 is when those conditions are present.

@funwithjim do you have saddlebags or rear basket?
