Many months ago I had asked if anyone used an ultrasonic cleaner. Nobody replied. Harbor Freight Tools sells a couple of different ones and I thought about purchasing one. I would like to know the results of using the ultrasonic cleaner if anyone has used one to clean dug coins, jewelry & other nice finds.

I'm anxious, as well. When I was growing up, my Mom had (and still does) a jewelery cleaner. It works very well on gold and silver. She suggested using it on my clad coins, but I just didn't think it could cut through all that crud. Can't wait to hear how it works!
