I have The Lyman (pumpkin) vibrating cleaner and a lot of the crushed walnut shells. My late friend left me an ultrasonic cleaner and twenty minutes in it and my brass is good to go. I use a few drops of Dawn and some Lemi Shine .

You'll be able to find them if they are laying in the leaves! Do you have to blow the media out of the casings afterwards or does it just fall out?

I hand polish each piece of brass with Brasso one at a time.
