I was on a forced shopping trip with wifey and kids today, oh my gosh! I made the best of it, went into a jeweler
 
Mike,
Here's the one I have. I have only done clad coins in it. Use aquarium gravel with a little water and dishwashing soap. Use other media if you want to take more care not to scratch the coins.

Here's the actual link. The other would work if you copied and pasted it into the URL line.
 
Hey Mike, I bought the standard tumbler, that most detector dealters sell. The brand name is something, like Loren, and I bought the two-barrel tumbler, so I could clean silver in one, and copper coins (pennies) in the other. It listed for around
$85.00 US, bought got it for $80 US, plus $5 shipping. I bought mine from Tom at Medal Detectors of Minneapolis, Mn. Many other dealers sell this brand, and they also have single barrel tumblers, that are around $60 US. I believe Ron Dugger at Dixie Medal Detectors in Brandon,Miss., has them also, and he is one of the forum sponsors. Both of the above mentioned guys are great to deal with, and very dependable. However, I don't know what's involved in shipping to Germany. There is also a cheaper hobby tumbler with a red plastic barrel, that some hobby and crafts stores sell, but I can't remember the brand name. It sells for about $30 US,
and will do a decent job. Hope this helps, hh, NamVetLesTreasureSeeker
 
Dave, I just sent my friend to a Harbor Freight Store to buy that tumbler. It was on sale last week for 21.95. The nonsale price is 29.00 or something close to that. It looks identical to my Loretone and it is half the price. What a deal! R.L.
 
The only problem that I have had with the Harbor Freight tumbler is the belts. Both belts that came with mine broke afetr a few runs. I found replacement belts on ebay for a few cents each. Orderd several and now I am in ggod shape.
 
Mine hasn't broken yet but I've only run 2 loads thru it. About 2 days worth of running so far. Thanks for the heads up.
