    If the clad dimes, quarters, halves and dollars that are found with metal detector are not cleaned the bank will not accept them for folding money. The rock tumbler is a great tool for the metal detectorist who wants to spend his or her clad finds.

    "Two things are infinite: human stupidity and the universe; and I'm not sure about the universe."
    -Albert Einstein-

    Mistakes are natural. But repeated mistakes without reflection are something else. That may be the “stupidity” he was referring to. In research, he admitted uncertainty openly. “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” This shows humility. Even a Nobel laureate accepted doubt. That humility makes the quote less cynical and more observational.
