Old silver, looking new again... simple electrolysis

Most of the silver coins I find around here come out of the ground looking like the day they were lost. So for the past 35 years, cleaning them has not been an issue. I recently hunted a site that, for whatever reason, produced a couple old silver coins (SL dime and silver 3-cent) that looked particularly nasty. Here are a couple links to posts (with before and after pics) that I made on the X-Terra forum, describing my process for cleaning them.
