Corroded silver

I picked up 3 silver coins at an old fresh water beach yesterday and they are heavily corroded. Any advice on returning their luster? Here they are setting in some olive oil.
 
Hot water, aluminum foil, and baking soda might work. Or maybe electrolysis.
 
Ive seen utube vids of that baking soda and aluminum foil trick and it seems to work real good but never tried it myself...

Yes, go electrolysis. Should work beautifully.
 
If your coins are of no numismatic value try only baking soda and water.
Little bit of water and baking soda and rub coin with your fingers.
Repeat as many times as needed.
Or try electrolysis.
You can make your own.
 
Really those coins are in great condition, any of the above should clean them very fast. Congrads on the NIce Silvers!!

Sometimes I will find some similar and it just takes a few minutes to clean them with a baking soda rub.

Most of my silvers are bad, heavily cookied being from salt water. These I just crunch the cookie off and wire brush.
