Perfect, Thank You 👍

[@randallcox4930]

Jim, you need to look for a mint mark on that V nickel. It is located on the reverse below the dot between united and cents. The 1912 "S" is a VERY key date. I sold one 4 years ago in a G3 grade (not that great of condition for 80 bucks. Good Luck!

[@funwithjim]

Thanks for the info! I will look closer at it.👍

[@panthercityoutdoors]

Man, thats pretty cool. I've been thinking about getting a tumbler, thanks for the vid.

[@tommychew6544]

Looks like a very handy machine to have around.

[@saikarthick89]

Vibrating tumbler machine is suitable for Gold coin polishing

[@funwithjim]

Yes a vibrating tumbler is suitable for a gold coin but I would have a gold coin professionally cleaned and definitely do not use a harsh tumbler or rotary tumbler.

[@poto_max]

Thank you for these videos ! But I have a question: does is work with flat pieces ? Im planning to polish flat stainless steel keychains. Like disks about 35mm diameter? Thank you

[@funwithjim]

Yes, flat pieces should be fine using jewelry cleaning media.

[@gaylebrodt676]

That was so interesting! I have a rock tumbler, I am thinking they do approximately the same thing. Thank you so much, this is an awesome video!

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@CatsPajamas23]

Cool video. I think that there's a solution that you can drop most metals into for cleaning (similar to the stuff used to clean copper and silver except in liquid form instead of paste. )

[@ShowMeMO-Digs]

I'm looking into buying one of these to clean up my coins to put back into circulation. How do you feel about tumbler now that you've had it for a while? Leaks or other problems?

[@funwithjim]

Great for removing ocean crust from clad coins, besides the clear plastic is now discolored to a smoky dark grey I have no complaints as it clean coins faster than the regular rock tumbler I use.

[@kirtandrews1859]

Hi there great video. I own a ton of silver jewelry that needs polishing asap. Can i use this to clean up my silver jewellery? Im assuming close any necklaces etc then add to drum a 1lb or 1/2 lb of steel shot. Add water so its just about covering the shot and the jewellery items. Then maybe a drop of dish soap? Then set for 10mins on level 3? How does that sound ?

[@funwithjim]

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.

[@kirtandrews1859]

@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

[@colleenwinn1617]

Great video! I have the same tumbler. For your silver pieces, how many pounds of shot do you use? And do you find that using a large amount of water like this works? Others have told me to fill the water about 1 cm above the level of the shot but i don’t know if that’s actually correct. I use mixed media stainless steel shot with a bit of water and dish soap, but all my silver pieces come out with a pitted surface no matter how long i run the tumbler for. Wondering if i need more shot or more water to fix this!

[@funwithjim]

I usually just eye ball the amount of media I use leaning a little more than actually need side, water should only be a little over your media line and for silver I only use to remove ocean crust to identify the item other wise I use chemical cleaners and buffing wheel to remove the tarnish. Pitting sometimes happen when out in the ocean and if you tumble to too long it will cause pitting. I suggest not using the tumbler for precious metals unless you are remove the ocean crust to prevent damage to the silver item, chemical cleaners work best combined with polishers.

[@colleenwinn1617]

@@funwithjim gotcha, thanks for the reply! I guess i didn’t specify that I’m a silversmith, so I use the tumbler as part of the final polishing process after soldering, etc., as do many other jewelers. Many jewelers use this vevor tumbler with no pitting issues, so I’m trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I end up getting pitting in my silver regardless of how long i tumble it, so I’m trying to figure out what to change about my process. I suspect it could be the pins in the mixed media shot that are marring the silver, though without the pine the Hard-to-reach places won’t get polished. Thanks for your input!

[@onjofilms]

Will this work on 1700's era gold and silver coins I found on a ship wreck? I hope so cause I got 10 pillow cases full.

[@funwithjim]

NO, do not clean 1700's gold or silver ever! have it professionally cleaned!

[@markhooper5822]

Great for coins 👍

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@kingdombuilder368]

would you put franklin half dollars in there, or would it be too harsh on the coins?

[@funwithjim]

No, unless it was severely ocean encrusted.

[@randallcox4930]

Hello Jim, I have been running this tumbler for over a year to clean my clad. Everything has held up great except for belts. Can't speak for anyone but myself, but this thing goes through belts like a mother. Turns out it is a common problem from what I have read. There is a company here in the U.S.A. that sells U.S. manufactured belts with a 15 year shelf life. Bought a 5 pack last month, and do far a MAJOR improvement. Great machine, just have to get away from the O.E.M. belts. Thanks for the video.

[@funwithjim]

This model doesn't have any belts at all, so I am not sure what model you are actually using but it is not this model. Thank You 👍

[@randallcox4930]

Wow, My bad Jim! I just looked them up and this is the latest model I was unaware of. Great they eliminated the belt. Give Haley a hug for me!

[@funwithjim]

I gave Haley extra hugs from you!

[@PescatoreFocoso]

since i discover and buy one of this i clean a lot of coin in 1 hr, i used steel ball 2-3mm and add dish water after i clean with wc gel and green spoon because i found coin are really roast, dont mix copper coin with other one or you stain the white one

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@ShowMeMO-Digs]

Looks good.. I bought their sand scoop with carbon fiber handle. Don't know how it will perform yet.

[@JKillingITinFL]

how do you recommend cleaning coins on a budget?

[@funwithjim]

Really ocean incrusted coins need to be tumbled, some people say to soak in vinegar and salt but that process is really slow and not really budget friendly because you need to change vinegar / salt solution everyday and that will add up. The cheapest way is to soak in olive oil for a few months until you can wipe them clean but that is a long process and wiping one coin at a time is not something I would want to do with the volume I of coins I need to clean. So tumbling them clean is the best process.

[@rexxryan1157]

Can I clean silver rings with this device?

[@funwithjim]

You can certainly polish the silver rings but I would not use a tumbler to remove beach corrosion.

[@knifeknerdreviews4609]

Does it still work? I bought the smaller 3kg version of this tumbler and it died in 5 minutes.

[@funwithjim]

It works great, I have used it a lot cleaning up bucket loads of old coins. No issue with mine! Amazon and Vevor will easy exchange or allow you to return it!

[@knifeknerdreviews4609]

@@funwithjim I returned it and ordered the full size like yours.. Wish me luck, Ive had nothing but dead units from Vevor so far.

[@johnnyhiett]

Another good video! I wonder how long it takes to wear out that drum?

[@funwithjim]

Me too! I have lots of coins to clean so I am sure to give it a good test.

[@mattahern5263]

Cool

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@buggyman9024]

Any problem after using the toilet bowl cleaner? The instructions said not to use any corrosives in the tumbler. It could just be a disclaimer issue.

[@funwithjim]

No issues at all on any of my tumblers and I have been using it for years.

[@buggyman9024]

Great, thanks for the reply. I enjoy your videos.

[@SPITOLOLOLO]

can i leave him to work for 2+3 days??

[@funwithjim]

It isn't a rock tumbler it is a jewelry tumbler. Rock tumblers can run for days!

Hi, Jim. That does a great job. Would be handy to have one. Thanks

I like that tumbler I have been looking to upgrade. I have a Harbor Freight my second one, and it is starting to mess up.

I have gone through a few too many Harbor Freight tumblers myself, Thank You 👍

[@oldpelon7623]

Nice review Jim not a bad price

[@funwithjim]

Thank You 👍

[@noeliasolis2498]

It is still working???

[@funwithjim]

Yes, works great!

[@OLdweeb]

😃Impressive. It won't replace my Lortones for rock tumbling. But it looks ideally suited for cleaning detecting finds. The noise is offset by the speed and being able to actually see the tumbling in action. And maybe not worth the electricity, but do you think it can salvage any significant % of partially corroded Zincolns? Thanks Jim.

[@funwithjim]

it will remove the corrosion from zinc pennies but it doesn't repair the coin. If the coin is recognizable it can be rolled and marked damaged coins. The US Mint will take them back through your back, I have my Grandson stuff rolls of zinc pennies and then give him the cash from the bank when we cash them in. Then the bank deal directly with the mint. Thank You 👍

[@chrisernest3222]

Wat do the cleaning stones cost Jim? That's a beauty...

[@funwithjim]

The Stainless steel jewelry cleaning media I get on amazon, I prefer the smallest 1/8inch or less in size and a mix of 3 or 4 shapes. I think mine cost about $15 for 1lb and it last for years as long as you dry them and store them correctly.

[@tomburdett6639]

👍👍👍😁

[@orangejuice4332]

Is the media reusable?

[@funwithjim]

Yes, my stainless steel jewelry media is about 5 years old.

[@WaynePBA]

The price is right, I was expecting a lot more.

Thank You 👍

about to go to swing at a bar. on the beach. got my headlamp. its closed. just waiting. to swing my 700.

[@jamesgreer8262]

Instead of using bowl cleaner you need to use CLR? It gets everything clean.

[@funwithjim]

my bowl cleaner is CLR in a more concentrated form and much cheaper. Lime away works great too! I have tried everything over the years and yes CLR is good. But remember I only ran the machine for 10 minutes not the hour I normally would with my slow tumbler.
