I use two pencils with alligator clips sandwiched between and rubberbands around pencils to hold in place. Attach clips to coins and lay pencils across container with coins in water....and yes with the clips above the water line...only coins in the water.

The alligator clips should not touch the water, right? I haven't a clue. A photo would surely be helpful. :-) I have silver strips and have been wondering where I could get new ones without going to the place where I bought the generator. Any ideas on who else might have some for sale? I could probably just switch over to the wires, but which should I get? 10 or 12 gauge? I realize these are elemental questions, but I'm asking them anyway :-) Aldi On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 2:12 PM, GARY ABEL <gajo...@yahoo.com> wrote: I dunno too much about the prices on silver wire. I've been kind of looking around and thinking of making with the wire as someone told me there is more contact or something. But for now using coins is much cheaper. They last a long time too. The person who first told me about making CS said they'd probably last me forever. Not sure what it takes to wear them down.
