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.
