I am pretty new to metal detecting. I have been out a dozen times or so and have never found anything older than mid 60s clad. I was getting a little discouraged when dug a weak signal and found an 1862 indian head penny. You would have thought that I found a million dollars. Anyway, I know I can throw the clad stuff in a tumbler but can I put old coins in a tumbler too? If not, how do I clean it up? I don't want to damage it. It looks like there is a lot of detail just waiting to come out. Thanks for your help.
